Do you have a link to it i just need some ideas i have a clue on which way i am going with it but not sure if i am not going to far
yes i know it depends on chassis Brand for fine tweaks all i know my Nitro car wallows badly through any S turns so i need to stiffen it up

and they tend to run the gamut from old to new.... The one I'm running is an OLD hand written on that I've had for years.... and I'm NOT 100% sure where it is at the moment!

thank you Chis K will go through then later gotta go by gut for weekend though now being i should be heading to toledo tonight
Grenade10 i have been searching through ofna's site and all the gtp2 and dm models all use the the same front shocks the late model dirt oval uses them on all 4 corners with different shock towers tho.
I was just trying to avoid having to make shock towers that would set the shocks up so the suspension worked correctly
also are any of you limiting the up travel on your suspensions?

You Have a Pretty Lip
I cut the lip off an old one... ran the car and felt a difference in high speed turn in... but it was not like you took off the rear wing..
Do you plan on being in the grass a lot Jacko?
