|  game of inches
i noticed the 3mm hardware holding my links to the chassis was getting bent (and not in a good way) so i decided to move the links to the 4mm bolts holding the chassis together (Savage motor mount braces) and that shrunk my WB by about 3/8 inch.  yeah, big deal, right? actually, yes. with just this minor wheelbase tweak, the GC raised 1/4 inch and the breakover angle is so much better that the skidplate hardly touches anymore. just sayin', keep tweaking, you never know when you'll hit the magic combo. next is a set of Tobee Craft 24mm wideners. |

look again. that brushless motor weighs less than your receiver, and each wheel has 3oz of lead wrapped around it. i have to do something really stupid to get it to tip over. with the wideners, it should tolerate even my worst stupidity.

microgoat, is that lead tape you used on the wheels? i've though about that, but never tried it.

it's stick-on wheel weights for 1:1 cars, just peel, wrap around the rim & stick on. a 3oz strip is an RCH short of wrapping all the way around a 2.2 rim, so you'll have to hammer it a little.
