however, with the rear shocks detatched, the rear is 1mm above my hudy board... is this correct behaviour? note rear tires are 65mm
always something!
When 1mm above the Hudy board, do your dogbones have lateral play or do they bind? If you have a very narrow trackwidth (~194 or less) in the rear or put fuel tubing in the axles (for whatever reason), the dogbones will bind when compressing the suspension that much.
