Default Green concrete evo project
Ok so right now i'm planning a green evo 8 that can run outside on concrete.
This is a little hard since i can't afford the lift kit for the evo and the battery case is too low to the ground.

Any suggestions for this?
(including any performance upgrades i should have)
Here's my setup:
AWD
antenna tube driveshaft
raisesd rear
bodydropped
hoodvent
drift kit
"driftified" stock tires
900 mAh rechargeables

the body is not as low as the chassis so it doesn't matter, but i need to raise the chassis because that's what drags the ground

Do you have any problems with the tie-rod screw connecting the tie-rod ends to the knuckles rubbing on the concrete? I think thats the most major disadvantage with Evos.

I noticed that stock they come with the longer screws in them. My very first one had those and after I changed them out for the shorter ones it ran much better over rough asphalt.
