I also added silicone tubing to the rear shocks (Doesn't need to be disassembled) shaft to stop it from squatting. Now you will have to decide how much up travel you want in the front and make sure all the tubing is the same length. I chose silicone tubing, because it offers some damping, but you can use any other kind of tube you want. I tought it would work, but it does. My truck doesn't lift it's front anymore.

I have silicone tubing on all 4 shocks already and also a custom wheelie bar. The wind is what is taking the truck....its all of a sudden to. Also its not consistent. Usually around 65-70mph range the truck begins to sway the rear end side to side as lift is created on the rear of the body, then past that it will sometimes just take off....like an airplane with wings. I'm working on reducing frontal area as much as possible and lift. Also I am working on making some bolt on difusers for the rear of the chassis. The MMT is the perfect chassis for high speed runs since its a flat panel. All the other big trucks have an open chassis underneath which creates alot of lift. Also the longer the wheelbase the better I have been with holding the truck down.

Do you have tubing inside the front shocks under the piston? I will start doing speed runs again soon and I have my truck sitting a bit lower on the front and I know it will create much more down force, but I know it will stay on the ground. I also have a wheelie bar, but I think it won't be needed. I sure hope Mike can do my chassis soon. With the design I have done, I can use 44.4v and 74v with those long packs from Kong Power, Flight Power and Thunder Power.

Yes I have the tubing on all of the pistons. Works good. I have also found the other trick is to strap the front suspension with zip ties to not allow the front suspension to unload, essentially making the front end dead weight.

In the rear just add tubing to stop the truck from squating. That way the truck will have a hot rod stance.

I run trinity XX heavy lowering springs in the front now, and the standard length XX heavy trinity's in the back. I have the truck now pretty dialed in. The body is the real problem. I need to find out how to minimize drag from the truck body.

I'll try to make my own body out of fiberglass or I might buy one of those oval truck bodies and modify it to work with my truck.
