I don't think I ever posted pics of what this car looks like without the tires on it so you can get an idea of my link set up. Ride height at the front of the skid with Boss Claws on it is at 2.5"

Easy to see how you've clocked your axles here as well.

I made sure it does, since it squats out so low (with the tires on) it comes out exactly 12.5". I bring the comp gear to our comps so I have the benefit of having the tech tool here for making sure I'm in spec when building. We also tech cars at every one of our comps every month.

I love that aggressive stance.

After you clocked the front axles did you add any positive caster on them or are they centered? It is hard for me to tell in the pictures.

The knuckles are clocked back one spot from full, about 15-20*.

Update time, I got my 5th Dimension Dominator chassis in the mail today so I did a quick chassis change. The links transferred over fine since we didn't change the skid between this chassis and the bodied version. I also got some Icon shocks to go on this one. More to come later in the week during my days off when I got more time to finish this up.

Icon shocks are on, running 30wt front and 35wt rear with mini-t silver springs and a plastic Axial rod end ball inside the shock for limiting. Painted some panels translucent yellow, now its time to add the stickers.

Rigs look killer bud. I can't wait to see how you do first time out with the dominator.

What a season of changes! I grabbed 2nd yesterday and finished 4th overall in our series at our season finale. I'm very pleased with the new Dominator, this chassis flat out works awesome! Also since switching to the Bully2 axles I've had no failures and they have been performing perfectly. The Brood Stubbies have lasted all season and still work like new. I truly feel I have the best of the best in equipment and support and look forward to a new season running my current set up. I just want to say thank you to the 5th Dimension, RC4WD, and Brood for the continued support.

Thanks to Bruce at BDN I got my custom 2.5" BB brace and shock sliders in and installed on the 5th Dimension Dominator chassis. I absolutely love this rear brace and the machine work is outstanding. Thanks Bruce for getting this done!
