B44.1 Ride Height

[Brooke]

Just finished building my new B44.1 to the stock factory settings, i'm totally over the moon with the buggy but have this question. After setting up the collars on the dampers and the shocks mounted on the holes mentioned in the manual the ride height seems extremely high compared to the photo on the box and other pics i've seen in magazines and on the web etc. After winding the collars right up the ride height seems to only drop the front end but keeps the back sticking up n the air.

Can anyone please help me or is this how the chassis is supposed to be?

Thanks in advance for any help

if i remember righty the front shock bottoms are bigger than the back maybe u have got them the wrong way around just a guess am sure someone on here will be able to help

Yeah good guess on that.

The front shock bottoms are offset - bigger (to cope with the angle).
Rear ones are quite shallow.

Are you's guy's meaning the plastic round plate that fits over the shaft/bottom eye thats used to compress the spring? Just cos if so i've checked and this is correct and i've still got too much ride height. The manual reckons about 20mm but mines more like 36mm or so.

This may be a stupid question, but do you have all the electronics installed?
