| 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.

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

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.
