Is that a Jammin' "upgrade" or did u use Mugen frt suspension parts?

The first pic shows alot of steering throw. Is that how you run it at the track?

Nice ride!

You see how much steering he has?

none of the team drivers run it.......I dunno :/

by simply referencing the angle of the tire in relation to the angle of the front of the stone guards, a little more steering throw than c-hub, not much. People dremel the c-hub arms for more throw, however, after installing new arms, they have a notch in them for knuckle clearance, so they have equal amount of throw as the dremeled arms, I compared the two.

the big advantage is more steering and ive heard it handles the rough stuff a little better.

shocks should be here soon. i have the silver springs coming along with them. i removed all the aluminum blocks and went to plastic i also went to plastic rear hubs to lighten the car. the next option is the lightened out drives and spur gear. im going to order a postal scale so i can compare some item weights and im not sure if im going to order the fioroni chassis or the jammin lightened one

sweet now i have to call amain and have them weight the jammin chassis or the fioroni chassis to see wich one weighs less. i also have to weigh all the aluminum pieces i took off. and then weigh the plastic i put on to see what the difference is.
