Making changes everyday! Any suggestions?

Ditch the nicad, fix the servo horn and steering linkage, lower it, inboard your front shocks...

Oh and limit that articulation

lower it, fix the servo, and inboard the front shocks for steering clearance

Ive just been experimenting with different setups. I am planning on going lipo soon and behind the axle steering. Ordering some stuff this week.

Place your front lower link the stock alxe mount location (between the tabs). Use a 6mm spacer against the inner tab and then mount your shock on the other side of the spacer. You will also need to move your upper shock mountin point to the inside of the the chassis plates.

Then rotate the lower link so it appears flat from the side view. The lower bend will now point inward.

This will gain you a bunch of steering angle! Your tires won't hit the shocks as soon, and the lower bend facing in also give your tires more room to turn..... especially when you get some Rovers!

I forgot to ask if you're still running the internal springs. If you are, ditch them and use spacers. I have the ones from the CKRC stage 2, but fuel tubing would work too. 19-20mm long would work.

Thanks for the tips. I have already removed the internal springs and rovers are on my list!

Would recommend going to your local tire store and grabbing about 6 sticks of 1/4oz stick on wheel weights and putting it on the front end to counter the battery weight on the rear axle. You should get another 3-5 degrees climbing angle. You also need a 15mm spacer in between the upper links on the front or those tabs are going to break. Next, PM RMDesignworks and get his rear axle plate. I'm sure there is more but I don't want to ramble..... :lmao:

inboard the front shocks and lower it and spread the rea links

Looks good ! Lol , I just bought a creeper an had to clear it with the wife first!

Cant wait to get mine in an slowly start getting it together.

So I did some adjusting and lowered about an inch. Its got about 2 1/8th inches ground clearance now. Im lookin at ordering screws, spacers, and upper links this week.
