How do I set up my T-maxx to have a wider racing stance?

[colesizemore57]

I have a T-maxx 2.5 and I want to set it up to race my friends. I want a wide, low aggressive style stance so when I round a corner on the track, it doesn't roll over. How do I do this?:\

You can always go with some full offset rims. They will widen you out by almost 2 inches. Pull out your shock spacers and that will drop you down some too....

Also, removing the spacers will make the ride a bit softer, which can be good and bad. Probably more body roll.

Well, I have a very low cut body(Pro-Line Desert Rat) with about an inch cut off the bottom. It fits tight and looks sweet. BUT, looks don't do much. So, what if I removed just ONE of about three zip-ties? They were jerry-rigged before I got it.

Got it!!!

I removed all of the zip-ties on every shock and it has the stock T-maxx springs on it so they're pretty soft. Plus, I reset the shocks to where they are in a more "laid-down" position to decrease body roll. I am also planning on getting some 1/2-full offset wheels mounted on Pro-Line Bow-Tie tires for racing.

Cool! You like it better now?

 

[colesizemore57]

Oh yes I do!!
It sets low and wide like a Losi MUGGY, but of course, it isn't that big, and it has that low body on it so it doesn't have hardly and body roll. I cannot wait to get our track built so I can race.

Get stiffer springs. The body roll is gonna kill you w/ the stock red springs.

You could allways strap it like we used to do to our demo cars and you can make it as low as you want and still have a lil suspetion sorry for mispelled words I'm on my phone.

Would medium springs work? I don't want it to SMACK! coming off of jumps on a harder than normal landing. As for the strapping thing......How is that done??
