You can check the above by getting a friend to watch it closely along a section of track and also put some tape on the back of the chassis as an indicator to it hitting the floor.


Did you say it feels 'really stiff'? It shouldn't do with the set-up you've posted, is it built right? Do the wishbones drop under their own weight? Perhaps that is the problem. Make sure NOTHING binds at all in the suspension without the shocks fitted.

By stiff I meant it looks like the rear end is not absorbing any bumps. But then again, it may be absorbing all of them and slapping the ground like you mentioned.

Once the rain stops I will get to the track and have someone watch.

I'll keep you posted
