From looking through these forums, it seems like everyone is putting the battery on the front upper link. Makes sense because it puts the battery much lower. If the battery is moved to the upper link, does the plug still reach the plug for the ESC in it's stock location??

Lower the height by moving your shocks to the chassis not the plastic top plate

Lower CG:
• wheel weights
• move battery to front axle
• move ESC to front upper links
• move receiver to rear upper links

Lower ride height:
• use a droop suspension OR
• replace shocks with shorter ones OR
• disassemble shocks, insert a nylon spacer or plastic tube around the shock shaft INSIDE the shock, reassemble shocks.
