Re: new graphite racer build
Hi, I'm James, and I wait for parts.....
I'm assuming you have the tranny complete/assembled now?
I'll take those extra parts out of the front end rebuild if you don't need them.....

Re: new graphite racer build
Use 1.02 shafts in the 1.32 bodies for the rear, use the .031 shims to adjust down travel from that point.
Re: new graphite racer build
cool im kinda strugling with the set up the front springs are to long and have preload on them and the rear are to long . ahh and the lid does not fit the chassis its a little to wide

Re: new graphite racer build
Try using buggy green springs on the front instead of truck springs. 
Once you have all the weight in the chassis (motor, battery, speedo...) the rear will settle down quite a bit. Rear springs are the same length for truck and buggy.

Re: new graphite racer build
i think it is looking good
. How do you like that Kimbrough Molded Wing?
I would wait till you get all the electronics on it before changing springs and making any suspension adjustments.
That’s the way the body fits on the graphite chassis, is normal.

Re: new graphite racer build
The chassis is wider in the front so the body streaches.
the wing is great hope it works as good as it looks
