My car is no longer an FGX it is an Exotek. lol. Now if someone will develop and produce a more efficient gear box. my car would not have a single stock item!

I notice the FGX IFS didn't have an adjustable link for ride height and I hate that stock upper deck!! I would imagine the Exotek version would have more adjust-ability and durability. I'll be waiting! It should balance out the new Exotek rear upright/link set up. I have one of those already on order.

That combo doesn't work well at our track so I haven't even tried to make it work on the FGX.

Typical 1/12 suspension diagram....
You'll notice that changing the upper link's angle/length will change the instant center, which will also change the RC, though in a more subtle fashion than moving lower arm. The lower link is non moving, but still is used the same as a dynamic lower arm for these purposes (it is just a horizontal line located on the lower pivot balls). Changing the height of the lower arm will also change the roll center, so changing the ride height, while crude, changes the RC. If there is a way to move the stationary lower link in relation to the chassis that will work also.

BTW after talking with MB I narrowed the fronts to 184 in the front and 182 in the rear. It definitely drove and rotated better. I just picked up set of Reedy shortys and hoping this will improve the handling even more!

Was that necessary? I was merely conveying what the new FGX designed lacked. Thanks for the information!

Then you must not be running any droop because until you remove all the droop by adjusting the spring collar then you are not adding any load to the spring...so it isn't being pre-loaded.
