Good info since I'd like to obtain a couple from cc to support the cause.

So Klien arms are correct.

Can Associated rear mounts be dremeled and adapted to work?

Can someone advise me in this: I found that the CC chassis does not really level out, the four posts and the front horizontal post are at different height, seems like it will take some brute force to 'torque down' the upper deck. (while I am more used to the Yokomo YZ series, which the upper decks are rather 'passively' fitted)

Is it just my cc chassis?? Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Yes this is the same with my car. I spaced up the rear bulkhead to help fit the battery and level the top plate. I also added spacers to the posts. Ill post pics tonight or tomorrow

Here are a few pics. First a side shot. You can see it still rises toward the nose

Here is the flat fiberglass spacer under the RPM bulkhead. The RPM trans brace still looks to sit flat.

And lastly the spacers under the top deck

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Composite Craft knew what they were doing so I'm sure it's not a design flaw or something that needs to be fixed.

The CC Worlds chassis I had 20+ years ago was the same way and it didn't seem to stressing the thin top plate very much when it was screwed it down.
