I have changed my car alot lately from STD Pro to wide suspension arms from MMT Extreme alloy lower arms I have fitted the std Pro rear shocks to the front and also changed the mounting position on the lower arms as well as the top mounting position (see pic) Also fitted MMT rear shocks on but not happy with them just yet so may change. I have changed the fuel tank and fitted an XRC buggy tank a bit smaller but I think better location now. also changed the battery box location. There is still alot more things I want to change to it probably end up as a completely different buggy. :yahoo:

Heres some pics
Front end now gets full suspension and sits alot higher off the ground, very happy so far they way the front end feels and looks on the track!

Rear end as I say not happy with shocks, will try different oils and springs or may change. as you can see it sits quite low would be ok on smooth tracks but our tracks are very lumpy.

nice mods...the MMT shocks work way better with the 3mm springs...i got the hard nuey 3mm and smartech 3mm rears...the smartechs are a little longer and seem a tad more progressive but hard to tell as i ran more preload on the chrome nuey ones...i kept 1000wt oil in them and they are like night and day over the standard 2.7mm springs...big improvement

Looks really good Bryan. I have been thinking about the steering set up in mine. I think I'm going to do a dual servo conversion to mine. It worked greast on my titan, so it should work great on the TB2 also. :going insane:

with the front so high, do you have any down travel if you lift the front to drop into holes? It looks like it's sprung

Yeah I only found out yesterday the MMT option springs from Nutech are soft 2.7mm and the production cars now have hard 3.0mm springs, so I need to order as per std P/No's for harder! The rear shocks were from my sample MMT so soft.

That will be my next mod but I am looking at all the different ways I can do it now I have plenty of room up front!

The car was only placed on the table at track when I took pic's, it does have down travel when dropped to get ride height!

my MT came with the softer springs...noticed the nuey stock ones had gone to 3mm when at gas jockeys place..big difference..went with smartech mediums on the front...seem to work well...though the 3mm on the front might be a bit too hard though haven't tried them yet
