Why the 7 mm under the rear ball stud

Purpose is the raise the roll center ...

If we did not raise the inside stud ?
We would just have a c-hub mod only it would be on the inside of the arm instead of out side on the arm .

If we did nothing but the 8mm on outside , means more traction and roll

To stop this roll & extra grip we move 7mm under the inside stud on rear tower ..

when you do, the suspension will not bind near as much as if we did not raise the inside stud .

less bind equals less roll & traction ..


Conclusion

Imagine a box that pivots on the ends , if we only raise the ball stud 8mm on outside & nothing on the inside ?

The inside end of the box will be very short & bind more when moving back & forth when you pivot the box .

This bind is the force we are controlling by moving the studs up or down .

Nice try Bro ......


Just remember how Matrix told everyone how on top of the game the Ae trucks looked the last time he saw ...

Don't know if you have done yet .

Easy 1/2 oz or more to loose by just removing the gear covers ..


Bonus
Motor & slipper runs cooler as well & it is all top weight you remove, less roll ...
