Thanks Mr Mid Ultima Custom special!
If you look closely, you can see the brass bulk between the upper suspension holder and the rear arm mount. Going to drill 4 holes in that. Going to use 3mm Cf for the tower and mill 1mm off where the upper shock holes are to 2mm. This straitens up the shocks and they clear the turnbukles better. Then I have a solution for another 2 holes a little higher up on the tower for greater support so the transmission does not break easily. The 4 holes in the bulk is not enough I think.
What's great with this tranny mod is the fact that there is very little preparation on the gearing house ones you figured out what spacers to use and what holes to make. Only had to reem up the new opening to 10mm and shims it correctly. If the transmission case breaks it will only take a few moments to make a new one
.
Have another idea too. The Durango Dex410 front shocks are not that much shorter than the Kyosho rears. Perhaps 10-12 mm. Have not messured yet. This could mean lower CG and improved airflow over the wing. Got enough Cf for an optional shocktower....
