Supposedly gotta run THICK shock fluids with lay down shocks so we'll see if it helps. Had my regular 650 fr and 600 rr in it and would chassis slap way to easy and cause the car to wheelie out of some landings. Now it has 910 fr and 810 rr. Already seems way better dropping it from a foot. Now waiting on clutch bearings not arrive and look over everything to make sure it's all right and tight.

The thicker shock fluids made a huge difference in the buggy. So much smoother and wouldn't bottom out. Way easier to drive. Broke an arm and bent an axle on same arm but had a replacement arm and straightened the axle. Finished 3rd today in the old thing overall. Buggy is getting faster every time out.

Yes sir. Never seen one for sale though. All both buggy and Truggy are Caster K8T and ZX1R with different shock towers and lower arms to mount the shocks. I can make one if I can find the towers and arms as I have a Caster Truggy here but I think it's impossible. Took me months to find this buggy and I had it shipped from Portugal to the US.

Something you'll probably never see in person.

Out here at the Georgia Peach State Classic. This 14yr old Ishima Rave 1.0R buggy did good this weekend. Held together through the whole race program and some nasty crashes practice day getting used to the track. Just way different and harder to drive due to lack of time with it which made it challenging when i normally race E-buggy. Got me in the C-Main. Flamed out once but if I didn't I would have had the pace to bump up. Guaranteed the oldest buggy here still putting it down with a couple pretty fast lap times . Just couldn't be consistent with it.
