This is a few days late, but you should have no problem getting more ride height than that with the kit springs. I measure my ride height right under the trans and basically right under the servo and have mine set at 24mm with the stock springs.... and yes the adjusters in the rear are pretty near maxed out, but there is still some adjustment left in them. Make sure your shocks arent binding, with no oil in them, they should feel pretty smooth with very little drag on them. Also make sure your suspension is free with no binding when the shocks are off the car...the rear hubs are a tight fit, if you just shove all the shims in it will probably bind up. I had to run a file slightly on my hubs to free it up before final assembly because it was pretty tight and wouldnt allow the suspension to move freely on its own.

Hey guys, running into a little bit of a problem with my build.
In putting together the trans and adding the internal (silver) spacer to the top shaft the bearing actually pushes out of the the plastic piece that holds the motor plate to the transmission and won't allow any top shaft movement.
Now if I take the spacer out everything goes together smooth and the transmission spins freely. I've been told the spacer does need to go in there but for whatever reason it's just not working.
Anyone else have this problem?
Running the mid-motor 3 gear setup.
here is a picture of the problem, you can see the bearing pushing out and thats not even tight (or threaded). That's only pushed onto the lip of the actual gear box. if I tighten it up or even thread the top 2 motor plate screws it's almost an instant drive line bind.
thanks for any tips,recomendations.

So what motors is everyone running in the 210?? I'm thinking about getting one, but i'm on a budget. Would i be stupid to even think about putting my castle 3800 sct system in one? thanks!

The 210 has great rear traction, but for 2wd buggy I would definitely go with a sensored setup. Plus an 8.5 can give you all the power you'll ever need if your esc has boost capabilities. I see that 1410 being very hard on the drivetrain too with all of the torque it makes- that little motor rocked in our 4wd sc trucks, couldn't imagine how insane it would be in a buggy.

Does anyone know a good final drive ratio for the 210 with a 6.5T?
If I geared the car 81S/26P that would give the car an 8.06 FDR per the 2.6:1 transmission. I am not familiar with a good FDR for off road; Any help would be greatly appreciated! Oh and btw I am assuming the car comes with an 87T spur stock based on what I've read here. Is this correct? Thanks guys
