I agree. I made a Gordon one from a diecast last year- dropped it some but still too high. You just trim the springs?

I did trim the front springs down as well as the ones in the back. first take a measurement of how low you want the rear end to go.Then disassemble the chassis so you can get to the rear axle posts. Using a cutting tool, trim the the posts down with your measurement. Always trim less first though cause once you make that cut and it is too low, your pretty much wrecked you car cause it looks silly.( personal experience lol) One day soon, I will do a how to for lowering the Nationwide Mustangs and Camry's cause the chassis is just a lump of plastic. Hope this helps in your future builds. |
