Is this going to be enough articulation for general crawling? A bunch of the other trucks around here are getting more than that. I can't get more articulation without angling the shocks like I had them in the previous pics.

That's what I was getting with the angled shocks. I can't get anything near that with the shocks more upright.

hope these pics help. the chassie is angled cause of it but who cares it should affect performance.

i am getting 3inch of ground clerance. i might try moving both shocks and see how that goes.

EDIT= i moved both shocks.tooo low i got just under 3inch of GC and the battery hits the chassie.

You can see that I've already had my shocks angled in previous pics I've posted. I got plenty of articulation with that setup, but one person said that won't work. I'm trying to find out what will and won't work and why I don't get any articulation with my shocks upright, but others can.

I put the shocks back on an angle like my first set of articulation pics. I used black springs and some spacers. Those shots are maximum articulation.
