-Q:How protected are the shocks & rockers in impact?
-A: we have never broken ether in testing or racing. We have implimented a super wide lower bumper in combination with a high density foam bumper that protects all the internal components very well.

-Q: How do you adjust the camber & castor?
-A: Both angles adjust by moving the ball joints on the arms on their setscrws. We recommend setting your castor angle first and then the camber as the castor is usually more radical and will change the camber some. Then just recheck the castor again.

-Q:What keeps the bulkheads from twisting as they only mount to the chasis with one m4 screw?
-A: When using the upright suspension, the shock tower locks them together and in alignment. When using the laydown suspension, the short top plate locks them together and in alignment.

-Q: How does the ride height adjust?
-A: The same as any other touring car with the shock collars. You can also use the turnbuckles on the rockers to do the same.

-Q: What other manufacturs parts are used?
-A: Team Associated front knuckles, diff parts, Traxxas Ball joints, HPI belts.

-Q: What is the parts availability?
-A: We manufacture all Tigermoth Racing parts in house, keep them in stock and have the ability to make parts to order if we are out of stock. All parts made by other manufacturers are redily available and will be phased out and replaced by parts made by Tigermoth Racing. The parts list is included in the assembly manual and orders are taken via phone. We will be posting a parts page on our website for online ordering convenience.

Looking at the layout wouldnt you think that pillow ball type knuckles and uprights would make it more versatile and allow easier adjustment for camber and rear toe.
looks like it would or could work with the current a-arm design.
