Default anybody running this setup

IS anyone running CKRC's stage 2 suspension kit? If so how is it working out for you?

I don't know anyone using it, but
if you look at the kit you will find
a minor flaw. You will have to relocate
the front uppper shock mounts forward
to clear a motor. Not really a big deal
though.

I'm running it. It really sucks that it needs to be modified to fit over the motor.(bad on CKRC's part for not doing enough R&D) It did make a huge difference with the torque twist, but I think that might have something to do with making my own battery packs and putting them on the front upper links.

I'm running it and had to change the shock mounts to clear the motor. I'm not sure if it's better than stock as I did the mod as I built the creeper.I think the stock springs are to soft, I've managed to get 2 hrs runtime before breaking a cvd pin and front stub axle.and am impressed with the way it handles. Like any new car it will need more tweaking.I plan to use some heavier springs after the new parts arrive.

I running the stage two as well had to make L shaped brackets for the front shocks, so they clear the 540 can. I ran the creeper stock for a few weeks before doing the mod and I noticed a huge difference in the way it crawled with the stage 2. The torque twist is much better and it just flat out crawls better I'm happy I did it. Now I just need to get some rovers and I think it will be almost unstoppable.
