Imagine that your TC had a big ball joint in the middle of the chassis, so the front and rear axles could move relative to each other - that's a 12th car!! It's not often that we use the tuning tweeks from a TC to tune a 12th car. HTH
my nitro car had a big bend in the middle of its chassis once

understand there are big differences, which is why I was asking what effect shiming the ball joint has. If it's an RC change it should lower the RC by making the top link - I guess that's the shock in this case - flatter in relation to the bottom, correct
