Want higher ride height?
 

Hey people,

I was just looking around my room the other day, and I found some of my old Hess trucks... Needless to say, I was already pulling the wheels off and shoving them on my Acura RSX... Well, it's not that easy... For the REAR to work right, you need to take the stock sideskirts off, which actually makes it appear higher up... now the FRONT is a different story...As of now I'm still trying to get that right... But geez, without the body, when I have all four wheels on, this thing RIPS UP CARPET! See, our house has this "High-Pile" carpeting... Meaning I can't race on it... Until now! *Evil Laugh* I have enclosed a picture, for you're modding pleasure...


(Please note that I take GOOD pictures...)

Are those tires rubber or plastic?
How much ride height do you have now?
With the body on, is there significant rubbing?
How does it affect the suspension?
Can you get some for me?

Sorry for all the quesions but I've been waiting for this kind of break through:D

my friend has some. yes they are rubber but really really hard compared to xmods tires

stack a set of tires on top of another

*runs upstairs to grab a hess truck* haha awesome idea! I thought about it b4 but i didn't think it would work right, now I know it will... too bad I can't test it out. I need to get a friggin pinnion puller so I can get a pinion on my 180 motor that I already jammed my heatsink on (so tight it'll prolly never come off lol)

Ok, details
 

Very hard rubber, not meant for racing on a smooth surface (With the exception of outside, asphalt, pavement, etc)

About 1mm - from the ground to the underbody

Right now, only the rear wheels will work right, and you have to take the sideskirts off

It depends on the suspension, but the wheels are so frikkin big, it doesn't make much of a difference

Well, Ebay would probably be your best bet...


Right now, I have no idea what's going on, but I got home today, opened the X-Mods case, and I smelled something REALLY bad, like burning plastic or something... Absolutly NOTHING was turned on, wires crossed, the batteries weren't even warm! I don't know what is going on, all I know is that the smell is strongest in the front... Any suggestions?


(P.S) Doubling up tires won't raise it half as high as this!!

here is my idea on ride height:
