But I need a smaller motor, the Atomic 3500kv Sensored motor I have will not fit in the motor mount.
102mm
Tom,
It looks like you have a lot of pre-load on your side springs. I have found that the side springs work like a roll bar and in doing so the stiffer the spring your run or the more preload you have will increase the rotation of the rear end. I played with this a bit and ended up running mine loose enough where at full deflection of the pod the spring is about 1mm short of making contact with the spring seat and adjusting collar. With that said I am running hard bodies and blue springs where I see you running a lexan body and green springs so not sure how that translate but it might be worth playing with that.
Cheers,
Jim
