SO is there any advantage of cuttiong the front stock chassis for arm clearnce? I did it to the rear and it flexes way better. Just wondering if doing the same to the front is pointless....

Now ask yourself this. If it helped the rear that much.....don't ya think doing so to the front would have the same outcome? In short, yes do it.

Yea i gotcha man. I have done the same front and rear. It has little to no effect at all while crawling. (the wobble that is) Everything works great.

i just did it....wish I didnt do the rear in a rush at midnight lol it works but the front looks better. I made some THICK lexan braces for the inboarded shock area too......ALMOST 90 degrees but not quite. I also have a 1" body life so theres pretty much no rubbing.
