Tamiya has several sedans 2wd/4wd that have "laydown" front shocks.

There are no ways to move the front shocks around to achieve "balance". There is a pivot post that connects one side of the shock to a turnbuckle to the front a-arm, does that become the tuning option to achieving balance and moving the turnbuckle in and out?

I do have a laydown FrontWD car with 65/35 weight distribution did get it down to 57/43 still searching for a better balance. The motor is in front of the drive axles. My 4wd sedans are 50/50. With the FrontWD is it logical to reverse a RearWD setup or is it totally different?

I read through the whole thread and agree that learning never ends, especially in this hobby.
