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.....

Use 1.02 shafts in the 1.32 bodies for the rear, use the .031 shims to adjust down travel from that point.

Try using buggy green springs on the front instead of truck springs. :wink:

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.

i think it is looking good 8) . 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.

The chassis is wider in the front so the body streaches.

the wing is great hope it works as good as it looks
