There is alot you can do 1 Lower your COG (center of gravity) by moving things lower on your chassis 2 Add weight in your tires and while your at it make them true bead locs its cheap and easy take a piece of 2 inch I.D. pvc and cut it to a length of .750 or 3/4 inch 3 Run droop put springs on the inside of the shock to pull it down instead of pushing it up. 4 Put your battery on the back axle. 5 Get rid of any unwanted weight that is up high kinda goes along with #1. 6 Position your body down lower so it looks like the cog is lower. 7 Look around on the forum you will find alot to do. Hope some of this helps |

Start with The Beginner's Guide that is a "Sticky" at the top of this MRC forum; it details what DoubleD listed above and more. Read all that, first.

You pretty much dont even need to know what you are doing. If you search enough on here, you could build a VERY capable rig on the cheap. Lots of expensive lessons on here that you dont have to pay for. |
