i finished a build just like that awhile ago, with a 15.5" wheelbase i can lift one tire about 8-10" before another one starts lift. As the chassis breaks in due to twisting and untwisting you'll have more flex. Hope that helps.

The 2.2 12.5" wb pimp cane has a lot of holes drilled to allow for more flex and they do break in quite a bit. Mine is relatively new and with airsoft filled Jordans I get about 5" of travel before the other wheels begin to lift when bench testing. Hope that helps.

ok thanks, cuz right now, i got no weights in it, and its not even fully set up yet, just a roller basically. i lift about a inch and its coming up, but then i put a battery pack across the top of a axle and it changes drastically. Ill have to see when its fully set up what its like.

Every bit of your weight distribution will have an effect on the chassis, plus the break in. The more you use it the better it flexes.

ok, i am finding a new issue, i am not seeing a lot of steering, and i mean very little, what can i do without going to new axles. i didnt seem to have this problem with my super, must have been the tire size i figure. so how do you get a 2.2 clod to turn sharper?
