Front top has like 8mm, all the rest about 1mm. Can't space the front bottom too far out or the wheels could rub when turning. Tamiya shocks should work well. They have a small spring diameter. Any standard lipo will fit the CRX chassis. I opt for the lowest mah pack as it helps balance the car better. With a short wheelbase that I have to run, a heavy pack messes up the handling. It seems to make the weight bias too much towards the rear. I try to position as much weight as I can to the front to keep the car more stable through corners. Hope that helps!
