| So what doesn't happen? Unless you are talking about the spring hitting the servo? |

| See how your shocks are unloading in that pic. You most likely have a couple of spacers on there. If you remove your spacers, and internally limit your shocks, you will lower your ride height and also control shock and spring movement alot better. |

| So its bad for the springs to unload? 1:1 rigs unload springs all the time. I aalso want more info on the wheel wieghts. I havent ran my MRC yet cause i got one that had a bad ESC out of the box %#@%! but i would think the more flex you have the better it would climb to a point. I understand the weight exchange is a big deal cause if you flex great but it takes to much weight off one tire or two then you arent going good. Just trying to clear things up for myself. Cole |

| I had a turbo shop mill them out of a solid chunk of brass. Take all the space of the inner wheel, minus the steering knuckles in front and fill that with the material, pics below. I can have more made for anyone interested. there will be a cost for sure, but if I can get enough to buy maybe it will be cheaper. the "beadlock" keeps the weight secure into the tire.     |
