Default Chassis Options?

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a new chassis for my King b/c I broke the fabbed up plastic thing that the truck had when I got it in trade....I'm looking to go semi-scale but I'd like to keep the Tranny clocked and I have an aluminum servo plate (the one on the front axle)...I tried using the stock chassis, but when I put the front axle in, the spring on the right shock was binding b/c it was hitting the aluminum plate...so I need a chassis that will allow the shock to mount back outta the way and stay stretched a little. Any ideas what I could use? I was thinking about this------> http://www.ckrccrawlers.com/shop/ind...roducts_id=602

If you want to stick with the stock chassis, HPI has one in black that you can buy also. Here is a link to it http://www.hpiracing.com/products/en/85266/

Do you have any pics so we can better understand your problem? Or just remount the shock a little further back on the chassis.

You can rotate the stock mounts 90 degrees. That will help with the binding issue.
Or put the servo in the middle.
