Default Low Center Of Gravity

I just took a few pics after lowering it to a little under 3 inches (ground to belly). I drove up this wall by the way, didn't set it up like this. Looking to add some hb rovers soon .

have you weighted the front wheels. I have mine to where it will almost sit flat against the wall without tipping back. I just have a problem with getting hung up on sharp edge break overs.

how much ground clearance under the bellypan do most of the comp crawlers run?

Seems like a lot of comp crawlers run at least 2.5'' of ground clearance and now with new chassis designs like the beetlejuice some people are running 3.5'' easily. Mine sits at 3'' even and the center of gravity is really low.
