Best way to shorten Wheelbase to 12.5
 
i just finished building a berg on the Droid chassis. I used the recommended links and rod ends by CKRC. The wheelbase still comes out around 12.75 to 13.0 inches when compressed. What's the best way to shorten it? I imagine it would be to grind down the links a bit. Which end would you grind down? The ends on the chassis, or the ends that go to the axles? Thanks. This is for comp rules.

i would take off a little from all the links on both sides:)

Take a few measurements, do a little math, and trim evenly from both ends of the links.
Good luck "thumbsup"

Raising your shocks will also shorten it up.

If possible, you can widen your lower links at the axle ends. Just put a spacer between the rod end and the link mount.
