well, i have a gen2 chassie and i am trying to make it an off road rally car.

This is what i did so far s2motor,hummer wheels,ball bearings,blue shocks,1000mah rechargable batts,metal wheel nuts,firebird front clip,with rsx moded body shaved down,body lift,rear wheel drive.

The truble that i am haveing is that the 4 wheel drive wount work i put it in and nothing moves it just strains out the motor.

Also i need to get it higher and i have know idea how to get the chassie higher off the ground..pleas help[/i]

Re: i am having truble with my car.(need help).

It seems to me that your first course of action would be to check the drivetrain:

1. remove the motor to check for driveline friction.
2. Remove the front end to test for front friction
3. Onto the rear end if step 2 didn't help.

You should be able to source the problem...my guess is that you have a driveshaft a tiny bit too long for the wheelbase you've set on the chassis.

As for clearance, you should try these.

....

Firs things first-are you using a evo awd mod because if its a gen1 version it may not work...
also you may have the wrong size of shaft.

hope that helps :wink:
