    Just because you were asking, 😉 Panhard-Levassor was one of the earliest car makers, and Rene Panhard invented that bar or rod to stabilise their own vehicle's suspension way back in the 1920s! A genius move for sure! And here's a car they were selling right before WW2 happened, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panhard_et_Levassor_Dynamic#/media/File:Panhard_Et_Levassor.jpg Crazy but cool right?

      If you could slide the body backwards and center the front wheel and the front wheel well, then you could just extend the rear 4 links with longer ones to Center the rear axle in the rear wheel well. Trying to extend the front axle turns into a lot of complications and geometry issues with the suspension.

    For anyone interested in buying these. Yes, they are worth it. Only horrible thing on it are the stock shocks but otherwise thryve worked great. Never missed a beat. People treat crawler transmissions as if thry are 8s xmaxx transmissions. Hell most run just a small brushed motor. It isnt going to strip. And i have extremely heavy rigs as all the bodies are 3d printed with functioning canopies and all to the point where they make the stock stiff shocks too soft on full compression. People shit on them purely because of the price. And if a part breaks, just chuck a scx10 version in and give it a upgrade. The crawling community has become way too snobby

I was forced to put him further back, maybe 5mm.

      The steering link and panhard link need to be close to the same angle, if one is angled more than the other one it throws everything off. It's a game of trial and error. Also remember to remove one of the upper links if you haven't already.
