I know many people have talked about raising the mini-x for rally purposes, but I was wondering if anyone had cut away the little flaps that the suspension rests on (enforcing the maximum ride height)?
I see two problems with this. The first is that the dogbone socket on the wheel side would end up hitting the plastic suspension if the flap were removed (just like the socket hits the top of the suspension at the top of its travel). I've highlighted the place where the suspension rests on the plastic flap and also where the wheel dogbone socket sits right above the suspension (and would hit if the plastic flap were removed).
I have the feeling if we could prevent this, then we could raise the chasis just by trimming the flap. Unfortunately this would leave you unable to lower the car after unless someone can think of a method to adjust the low point of the suspension. I know there are some crazy modders out there, any advice/ideas?
