OK I am game how do you do it? I see the shock towers are the trick but what towers are they and were do I get some?
Only the rear shock tower does the trick, you should look after a RC10T one, either stock or aftermarket (Fybre-Lite still carries them)

Ok I ordered a tower put it on cut the body, the body is so low it is sitting on the motor plate and now my shocks are to short? do I need T-rear shocks also? seems like a lot of work for the 1/4 it 1/2 inch it lowered the body? does look good though, what do you think?

just take some of the limiters out of the shocks. there should be some in them, unless you used 1.02 shafts when you put them together. if that's the case, your gonna need to get 1.32 shafts.

rick, maybe it's just my eyes, but they look like 2 different size shocks. the shock body on the right side looks shorter than the left.

good catch. I didn't notice that one. definately different length bodies. Both have about 3 turns of coil under the clamp, but the left one has much more room above the clamp.

Yikes, those aren't the ones you got from me I hope! If so, I will make it right. If not, let me know what you need and I will get it for you anyway.
By the way, that body is going to look cool on there!

No their not the ones I got from you? The gray look better with the gray chassis. They are the same I just took both of them apart and put longer shafts in them, out of the ones I got from Red Scampi. so their right now. thanks
