Carpet on clay
Do you change your ride height on clay or are most still running in the upper teens for the carpet addition? Any issues with chassis slap on the bigger jumps?Thx

Re
How are the shocks Setup? Are you running internal limiters? How would raising the ride Height affect chassis slap and cornering? Thx QUOTE=B00t13g;14513852]I'm running 18/19 or 19:18 on clay and 17/17 or as low as I can go on carpet. Chassis does slap, but it's not avoidable on the current jumps.[/QUOTE]

2mm up front 0 in the rear using kyosho hard eyelits. It would make it less prone to bottom out. I've never had a car work that didn't bottom out at least occasionally. 3x1.3 front and rear. 500/350. Kyosho red front, gold rear. I would start at gold front, white rear.

2mm front, 0 rear. The longer kyosho eyelets act as if I'm running 2mm or so of up travel shims. Need to test it more.

I would do that as a last resort though. First try flipping the battery brace thumb screws so that the tapered side is up. This will give you more flex still provide some sort stopping point if you take a hard hit.
