Nitro Touring Car
Got a nitro tc thats pretty solid built with bearings in all the required holes etc, really wanted to run it off-road as rally car but the ground clearance is a bit low for that.
How do I raise the ride height enough to allow it to run off road, kinda like a rallycross affair ?

so you bught an rc touring car to take it off road?
in all honesty you should have really bought an off road buggy because really its designed for off road? however if you want to take this off road maybe get larger shock towers? im not really into touring rc and know very little on them but physically if you install taller shock towers it should IN THEORY lift the car up as for everything else such as wheels etc i dont know if it will affect how they rotate. it shouldnt be a problem though  just buy a rc buggy its already designed for offroading :P

No....I already have a nitro tourer that I want to make into a rally car !
 I already have a kosher 1:8 off-road buggy (hyper-7) as well as a few other nitro off-roaders, the tourers pretty solidly built and has bearings throughout, it will handle it easily, tyres arent foam either, theyre treaded rubber. I dont want to launch it all over a field either, more a rallycross thing with a mixture off dirt as well as tarmac. I take it you mean a mixture of taller shock towers & shocks, be pretty limited otherwise...I can make towers and I can look out for a set of shocks of the right length, maybe MT2 or something like that.  I really didnt think it as that outrageous an idea though.

I would of said standard shock towers but longer shocks, also I think the camber, steering and toe-in linkages will need to be lengthed because of the larger travel shocks. Maybe even longer wishbones. Since it's a nitro tourer I guess it's belt driven meaning all the pulleys and gear thingys and belts are
exposed, maybe worth protecting these, try a bit of lexen around th important bits to keep the stones out, it's what I've done with my electric tc.

i agree with cool above. since you are wanting to raise the car if you only pay attention to the shock towers there is more probability to lengthern the camber and steering otherwise the servo for steering may change the way it steers. too hard etc depending on the raise.
i dont understand why you want to change it tbh though just my opinion
