What is the design purpose of the lowered shock tower? Is it just to run slammed bodies or does it actually affect the handling of the car? I'm talking about the ones at Specialized RC with original camber mounts. It seems to me that if you lower the tower and then cut the bottom of the shock shaft and eyelet, you haven't really adjusted where the piston rides in the fluid.

Well, the lowered tower is 3mm lower. So I would trim that off the shaft. That is what I did along with cutting the eyelet pretty much the same or a tick less.

Well, cutting the shock shaft and eyelet allows the piston to ride back in the original position. We are not trying to have it ride in a different location. Since the tower is 3mm lower, the shock needs to be essentially 3mm shorter to maintain the proper fuction of the dampening. If you follow me.

I gotcha. So it's just for lowered bodies and a slightly lower cg. Thanks.

Quick question about the roll center blocks. I have the small dots on the side of the roll centers facing down in the lower holes. I want the roll centers set more at the nuetral position, so that would be the lower hole with the small dots facing up?

Any help would be great.

Also every type of spring size has fit on those perches...
I run HPI R40 and PRO4 springs as well as Corally...They all fit..I have fit Tamiya springs as well...

When you say a more "neutral position" do you mean the arms more level? It's been a while since I've run on rubber tires, but if you want to raise the hinge pins a touch just flip the blocks around, so the dot is pointing up. That should give you a little more turn in, and a little less grip in the middle and exit of the corner.

on foams, the 3.9 is the definite choice, from what i hear. on high grip especially, you can see the difference in laptimes... more consistant.
