Question 2 Questions...

Hey guys, two questions. I see some of your guys' truck ride higher than others, and somebody (forgot his name) told me they put blocks in between the axle mounts or something. Anyone care to explain in detail or show some pics? Thinking of doing this on my next truck. Also, does rain/water wipe paint off the truck? I haven't been running it outside when it's wet for this reason, and I'd like to know if I can run it in the rain, Thanks guys!

The Wedico trucks sit higher than the Tamiya trucks. It's a bad problem Wedico has. As for the rain, as long as the paint is dry the rain won't hurt it. It will hurt the electronics but it won't hurt the paint.

Ok thanks. Actually I meant just Tamiya trucks. Some people modify their suspension to make it taller. For offroad usage and such. Thanks again!

Anyone like to show me some pics? Thanks!
