: Replace the front battery locator with lead or ???? to get the car over 730gm
: Machine the left hub so it is flat when put on the axle
I have also ordered the Team Tamale steering blocks, which will let me run a little smaller front tires.
Anyone else do something that helped or looked better?
Grenade, flip your side links so that the recess for the spring is on the bottom, this will make the suspension movement MUCH smoother, with no binding as the spring pops in and out of the recess.
Also, for more side bite, try to raise the back of the shock. I have gone up to 7mm and it feels awesome. I dont know why raising the rear feels better than lowering the front, but it does.
Use some good 2.5mm head screws for the motor, lets you get a good grip on them to keep everything tight.
