Please post a close-up of the front end if you get a chance. I can't seem to fit nose tubes on my set-up. The shocks bottom out too. Thanks!

Here ya go.

your parts are probably for the rc10 graphite, not a tub chassis.

thanks scr8p... you confirmed I am not crazy. There must be two versions. I knew something was way off when I put it together.

Now that I have completely hijacked this thread...

Asso Man and JK, thanks for the advice. The body is forcing me to look at the arm side of the equation.

I sat the body on before painting and realized the top of the shocks sit perfectly behind the uncut air intake. Kinda looks like a blower if you squint when looking at the cap screws All that to say I can't raise the mount because the body rests on the shocks up front. The body sits slightly higher up front. I will eventually replace molded triangular pieces that attach to the arms. I am fairly certain the shocks are .56.
