I've asked Muzz what he did with his but no response yet. Will let you know when I know.

I will endeavour today to remove a rear wheel and take some photos of the rear setup on my vortex but I won't be able to botophucket them (Im popular)

I will have to try and make them small enough to be attachments on the board.
that way you can see what was done to Jetcar as my daughter has named it.

I don't like this set-up at all the shock mounts scrub on the CV casing. occasionally when I go over a medium sized bump, the car sounds like I've hit something really big on the road as it bottoms out.
