Nice, I love those Cross upgrades. The Optima chassis in its stock form tends to push and understeer a little under acceleration, so hopefully your widened track will help it steer better. That's what I noticed when I made similar modifications to...

Hi Mr. Ed and Dennis; thank you for your replies!
I have some Marui Galaxy shocks, kind of similar than those of the Kyosho! Seems they are almost same length too (3 cm approx.); picture below shows manual of the FF with the shocks (roughly to...
