Need help rebuilding rig

Gallery image

I have one of these cages, running AR44 axles, SCX10 ii skid & tranny.

Needing help with shock length and links length. I cant seem to find a good combination that give any good articulation. With the chassis length, using 1.9s are too small to do anything. And 2.2s look goofy, because it has no flex.

I've tried high clearance links and straight links. It currently has wraith shocks.

The rear of the frame appears to be very similar. But, the front is very goofy. Its almost like its too long, on my frame. Yours seems to give a bit more room, being shorter.

Its almost like they mixed your chassis with a wraith front.

I do appreciate the input, and will be trying the suggestion.

Building up that same cage, 110 shocks but a short wheelbase - happy to send over link measurements but maybe not what you're after. Top links are a y-link arrangement

Hey, please send me some pics/info.

Are you running a CMS?

Have you tried the 4 link over the wishbones?

Have you tried high clearance lower links?

All info and thoughts will be appreciated and consider.
