Raced the P4X for the first time this past Saturday. Spent most of the day changing settings, installing the short stiffener, rebuilding shocks.
I noticed something funky about the front pull rods and I am not sure if its correct. Basically at default pull rod length, the suspension arms are connected to the point where lowering one arm all the way down actually pushes the opposite side up and vice versa. Has anyone else noticed this?
I shortened each pull rod by about 1MM and it almost completely relieved this strange side effect. I think if I go another .5mm on each side it will be completely gone. Thoughts?

Droop
So assuming then ride height as well ? How are you measuring droop, over ride height or under the hubs ?

How do you guys go about reducing weight in the car when you have full option parts? Just got VTD and total package is 29g, which is pretty heavy. I didn't take off the packaging yet but it will only shave a couple of grams. Even with aluminum screws I don't see the whole VTD set going below 25g.
The car is already pretty heavy. My car is 1003.6g with tires and all electronics installed w/o battery and body. The body's about 100g and battery about 270g. With VTD it will be 1400g. Can't go any lower for battery, can go lower on body by maybe 10g. What else? What do you guys do to keep it at minimum weight?

Connecting rods
Manual says 14 mm what do they need to be to get a median ride height of 5.5 mm or so with the linear suspension set installed ? Struggling with ride height from left to right since installing
