lower center of gravity

[brandontodd33]

What are some things that I can do to lower my center of gravity?

What type of rig do you have? Many changes that work well on certain rigs won't help others.

1. lower your ride height (I run a droop setup, VERY low CG)
2. mount battery and electronics on front and rear axles
3. add weight to your wheels
4. get smaller diameter tires

Hope this helps, if you are more specific with your questions we can help you more.

My rig is a xrc chassis with tlt axels. my batteries are already on the axel and so is the receiver. here is a pic of it.

Truck looks pretty good as is. If there's room move your esc to the rear axle or onto the front upper 2 links and lower your belly height to 2.5-3". You can limit your shocks to lower your belly height by using spacers (rubber tubing works) inside of the shock under the piston.

Ok awesome thanks for the info

Yeah, your truck looks great! I like it.


you can add weight to the wheels, that always helps.

I have read on here in a few places that some guys are turning their shocks upside down as well. I however have no real experience on this though. It does makes sense since the bodies and the oil inside are lower to the axles lowering your center of gravity.

I run mine upside down, more because they are leaky losis. But ya flipping them and limiting them as said before should lower your CG nicely.
