what about the fact that more weight will be on the front left, than the front right. same with rear. i guess if Josh Cyrul ran it this way on carpet, where this would be more noticable due to higher traction, it is not such a big thing. reason i ask i want to fit my hacker 6turn brushless motor and speedy and im trying to avoid putting holes in the chassis to move the battery brace.l
what do people think.

adjust it with spring tweek. The cross weight issues is less important the front/back, left/right balance.

shock problems
I am having a hell of a time rebuilding my shocks! can anyone give me some tips on what the best and easiest way to build them is. And more importantly I need to know what is the proper length of a shock without spring when it is fully extended?
thanks for your help
P.S they are t1r shocks.

Do you have a pic of the bottom of the chassis? Also, are there slots to use straping tape instead of using the graphite battery hold downs?

yeah that is what I figured. the last rebuild I must have done something wrong. because the collars in the rear where all the way to the top and my car was no lowwer then 5.5mm ride height. I had no adjustability. it realy pissed me off. could there be something else that is wrong? I checked for tweek and the car was not tweeked. I am lost here

Im having problems with the ride height only being able to get down to 5.5 also.
I dont know if youre supposed to do this but I adjusted it by changing the droop.

Trinity - If you are coming to HT WC this saturday I'll help you out with the shocks. Here's a good article to follow to build these shocks.

Neil - Here's a pic of the bottom of the BMI chassis. The battery slots are a little tight, so using tape might be a problem. Ask Jason if he can mill a little spot to use strapping tape, or you can file it yourself.

Trinity, try lowering the arm mount roll centers. Also smaller tires might help, I've seen how big you run those things.
BTW, always set ride height, then set droop. If you need to, loosen up the droop screws a good amount, then set ride height, then screw them back in till you get the droop you want (uptravel).

I have the T1 (original) car and I have attached the Alloy C hub conversion to the car following all the instructions. However Now I am left with extreme toe in on the front wheels. I assume I need to adjust the length of the toe links, but there does not appear to be enough thread left. The instructions do not mention this.
