Hey ray running your tires that big is awesome, but are you gluing the side walls to stop them from chunking. I am captain chunk and have been truing my tires just to make them last longer. If I could run my tires that height I would run nothing but 12th scale, then my son's college fund would be safe.

Lowered pods are the bomb!! Any brand-but I run the new IRS pod with the long left pod (4-screwtop plate). This combined with the IRS set of axle height adjusters, you can liteally run rear tires from 1.90 to 1.65" and never vary more than 0.5mm in ride height the whole life of the tires.

I have been setting my car at just below 4mm at start of day. After the 1st or 2nd qualifier-I drop the axle a 0.5mm and maybe drop it again for the Main-if my cars too close to 3mm. This way I maintain a ~3.5mm ride height all day!!!
