If you are using the Gecko lower links, then those are probably too long...

I have a super that has gecko lower links. It came with HPI shocks and just like it was said... it sat to high and shortened up the wheelbase. I took 4 traxxas shocks off my E-Maxx and it did the trick. The WB is now 17inch's.

I used savage shocks on mine. I put a top out spring inside the shock to limit the travel though
