Yes thomas, it will not affect the handling, the wheel base will stay the same and everything.

Hope this works for you

Lee,Elvo thank you sooooo much for the Help..i was as i said, so close to re send it back to AC..but i cant realy do that ...

Dont mind the springs they are just for the looks, i will mount som new rear and front arms + C-hub and rear hubs to get less mesh...this looks real good, i have some "high neck" studs so i can use every hole if i want to...again THANK YOU!!!!!

[OldTimer]

Thomas, this is how you mount the shocks, as most people use losi shocks i assumed they would use the Losi shock bushing

If you follow the build guide and use the 3mm spacers which are in the kit, and mount the hub carriers also as per the build guide then you will be ok.

The alternative is to use a shock bottom and ball, and use a long screw rather than a ball stud.

Do i feel like a donkey :S...now i do understand..so sorry if i ever doubted on you mr J...hovever, im so glad the car is done, and it is ACE...feels like ive been her before...well well, thanks for the support !!

[OldTimer]

Another option is to use the rayspeed or racers edge hubs which have a vertical mount in the center of the hub for the ball stud

@Elvo: LOL! :-D Ooooh! That was a nasty surprise! Osvaldo, if you ever learn english and read this... I will never forgive you for that! :-@ But really, they didn't have a bladder or foam. But one soft and one hard O-ring under the piston, remember? I think the AE 1:12 shock is similar as to volume compensation. Did you ever test this?

@Sparrow: I never heard that argument before, so I dunno. But I raced a 1:8 TR car with that for some years and it worked very well!
