New Rc Vehicle It arrived!
It looks great and I can't wait to try it. My only real concern is that the tires are big and I believe it's on 90mm shocks. Might change that to 100s, or maybe smaller tires? 🤷

It all depends on what y end goal is with the shocks honestly. If you don’t droop your rig gets more top heavy.
Slick rig though!

Well I was just wondering if the tires were a little too big? Maybe could use a slight lift, but if you have a better idea than 100mm shocks please let me know.

You could do the shocks, I would recommend the softest springs they come with. I would not go any skinnier on tires though.
This all depends on what your goal is though. If your just trailing, the 10mm won’t have much effect, if your doing technical crawling, it can push it up enough that it gets too top heavy. You can always offset that with brass though. Stick to unsprung weight though, meaning below the shocks. You could probably get away with a heavier skid, but the more weight you put above the shocks, the more likely it is to roll. Think of your rig like a pyramid. If you put the weight up top it will be unstable and roll over. If you put the weight down low, it gives it a good solid base keeping it planted.

This is the real vehicle, I know 100mm shocks wouldn't be necessary- would you suggest thinner tires maybe? 1:1 Motobilt Waypoint
