I will get the front lower but I am not going to work on that until I rebuild the steering rack, add the metal ball pivots to the front A-Arms etc. Once I get it all together I will work on lowering the front. I tested the bottom shock ball joint in the lower hole but that was WAY too low. I prefer to drop the front to 5mm and leave the back as is and see how it runs.

While I was able to drive the car competitively in last week's races in semi-drift mode, that isn't exactly what I am shooting for. A little slide is fine as long as it is predictable and not true under/oversteer.
I put a heat sink and fan on mine. Doubt it weighs much more than that strange plastic heat shield Tamiya supplies, and it looks kinda cool.

How much does weight affect racing performance?
