just realised it had been 2 years and 2 days since i received the HPI WR8 Ken Block car!
to celebrate it's birthday.... or belated birthday..... decided to lower it a little...
thanks to the advice and guidance from bro Marpek...
didn't know that we can lower the WR8 so easily...
i'm really a noob!
marpek told me to look for the 4x grub screws that came with the WR8....
couldn't remember where i kept them... (but later found them after i had finished lowering...
)so i used 4pcs of M4 x 10mm hex bolts...
for the front, just look for the hole on the arms near the links holding the anti-roll bars....
and screw in the bolt....

done....

this is how it looks like on the bottom side...

this will mechanically limit the full travel of the shock.... and thus lowering the car....
it's that easy...
glad i learnt something and will look out for this in other RC cars and trucks in future... how i wished the slash 4x4 has this feature too....
back to the wr8.....
repeated for the right side for the front....
and did the same for the rear...
