Hi,

My question is for Tekno, but it will be possible to ask this to an other manufacturer.
Can we admit that the most common thing in the latest years on the 1/8 nitro market, is to move the weight on the front of the chassis ?

If it's right, why don't you move the rear gearboxes about 15 milimeters toward the front.
You just have to make some new C and D plates or new gearboxes design, a shorter center rear shaft, and you have pushed the weight to the front of the chassis. It will not need a new shock tower if you make new gearboxes...
The shafts, on the rear drive train don't need to be "in-line" compare to the diff outdrives (or diff rotation center axle), then this mod seems to be valid.

My question : if we want to push the weight on the front of the chassis, why don't you move the rear gearboxes but with the same rear arms position, with the same wheelbase ?
Thanks,
Bye !
