Do you have pics of your suspension setup?

just bashing. and i've got a FLM shock tower in the rear, stock in the front, RPM true track conversion for the rear and RPM 3.3 arms in the front. pics:

Hmmmm... I'm thinking 1/8 rears might be a little difficult to setup with the stock towers... but the FLM towers will facilitate them well... Maybe you could try a funky combo -
'1/8 fronts to the front and 1/8 rears to the rear' (typically of a 1/8 buggy)... or just stick with fronts all around...
