I'm not a fan of the Tamiya 3 spd due to its space sucking size, so this one is going away soon. You might also notice the spring pack on my steer axle . The extra height was in my favor but not so much in yours.

I see what you mean about raising the tranny. Looks like clearance for the driveshaft would still be tight at full bump, but I won't be jumping this thing so maybe that's not a big deal. Ha! Do you have any more pics of how you put together your front suspension? Is that a TLT in there?

Yours is looking very good! Nice work man

Thanks! I'm trying to keep the ride height within reason, but fully expect it to be noticeably taller than a stocker. I'm thinking maybe 3/4" or so, but the Lesu tires may be taller which may raise it more. Not really sure how their diameters compare to the stock Tamiya tires.
