| Post subject: | Bodyshell Clearance!! |
Hi, I was wondering when racing on carpet how much clearance you give the bodshell to the ground? When using a ride height gauge I usually aim for around 10mm all round but was wondering if this was too much? |

High enough so it doesn't rub on the ground. It will vary depending on how stiff your suspension is. Skiddins |

Everyone with an xray will all run fairly similar in stiffness and roll, (roughly). Out of interest how much clearance in millimeters do you give your bodyshells all round? |

Looks like the sides of mine are around 9mm, but I could probably go down 1 or 2mm. Skiddins |

Never measured but I raised the body 1 step from what the instuction book say and cut 2-3mm above the cutting line on a lctr. That is about the lowest possible with standard setup. |

When watching the car from the side I eyeball it so that it should be in line with the chassis. The front, cut the lip away until its not rubbing. |
