Next weekend I'll be racing on-road in what's to be a really good end-of-track race.

Nice! Looks great. Now we just need to get you that mid tank mod and you'll be hooked up.

Looks WAY better now! the lowered body makes it look racier.

I like how you say "this is one sweet racer now" when you haven't raced it!

RCDad · (#10 (**permalink**))

True. I'm glad it won't be so tippy now.

Lowering the body an inch won't change the CG by much. Lower the ride height and see what happens to stability.

Follow this example:

Huh? I did lower the height.

DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 · (#14 (**permalink**))

I guess I missed that in the pictures. The arms are level with the ground. I guess that's as low as a Savage gets unless you start re-engineering it. It just looks tall, is all.

RCDad · (#15 (**permalink**))

I could put it lower but the arms being level should keep it from tipping. At least that's been the experience of others who have done this mod.

DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 · (#16 (**permalink**))

I suspect that's true. Level arms is about as low as you can go.

Now, make it wider...........jk.

Or heavier, that will make it more stable if the weight is down low !! How about a steel skid plate for the entire length of the chassis? Should make it untippable.......also, jk.
