would this setup be suitable as a baseline setup for running 10.5 / 17.5 ?

or is there a kit setup that is more stable/suitable to start with.
Hi Rod, yes I was running weights along the center of the chassis. I'll take some pictures and post them. I think it will be a suitable setup for 10.5, 13.5, and 17.5.

Hey Craig, Josh will have to answer this. I'm not sure what it really does. If you do try it though, remember that it changes your wheel base so make sure to account for that with arm position by putting more spacers in the rear like I did.

And how tough are the suspension parts? I know the Scythe had Cyclone parts, and they can be fragile. The Photon parts look alot tougher?

Thanks



I dont know. Ohhh well
During club racing I always like trying new things, so I'm sure it will change a little. I ran this setup at SW with Sorex and it worked great. The Photon suspension parts are pretty tough. Not bullet proof, but definitely about as good as what’s best in the market today. The arms are BEEEEEFY. LOL
