Raising ride height


Recommended Posts

This should be in the "Q and A" section. This particular part of the forum is for people who know how to do something magic to explain it to others.

Anway, to help with your problem, what type of vehicle are you making 'derby' cars from? straight-axle '30s -'40s stuff or more modern, independent front suspension?

For indpendent suspension and it has pegs on the front suspension for the tires to glue on to, cut them off then reglue them lower than the "stock" position. For leaf spring make some riser blocks where the springs bolt to on the frame. These two methods are the easiest ways to do it.

I would mock up the kit first...many kits sit too high as they come in the box. A wheel tire swap might be all you need to do. To go higher the axles need to go lower..many different ways to do this, some quick, some accurate in scale.
