    Can someone tell me how much the rear radius rods move up and down?
    I just purchased a speedway kit,and channeled the body.
    It looks like it will be close.
    Any comments will be appreciated, as this is my first build.

    You can usually clearance the body and the rods fit between the outside frame and body. Rear needs about 3” and it decreases as it goes forward.
