Lowest Lowering Kit for the CEN Racing 1/10 F450. It will have dynamic and adjustable ride height using a @superscale2020 module paired with your programable transmitter. Or you can opt to connect 4 servos to a multi channel receiver and programable transmitter of your choice. This kit is for scale driving/towing/trailing ONLY. If you jump, bash, crash, race, mud, rock crawl or otherwise, you will break parts. There is no warranty. This kit is not for everyone and permanently changes some of the parts. You will not be able to return the truck to stock without significant work and buying new parts.
Warning: This is a fairly involved modification to your truck, and will require 2-3 hours of assembly and modification. It may take you much longer based on your mechanical experience. Difficulty is a 7/10. Experience building your own RC cars will make the process easier. There are more than 50 3D printed parts included with this kit, DO NOT BUY this if you have no hobby experience, are not confident with cutting metal or have not built your own model kits. I will be offering complete ready to drive trucks from time to time on my IG account @crawlersncustoms
Tools needed:
You'll need basic hobby tools like hex wrenches, lexan scissors, dremel, cutting/sanding discs, drill, flat file and soldering iron(to install a BEC as well as the optional but highly recommended SuperScale2020 Module). A vice to hold the axle while you file and cut is helpful(see part 2 of the assembly video series).
Parts needed to complete:
1 CENRACING F450 RTR Truck(truck not included with this lowering kit)
4 25-35 Kg standard digital servos.
Programable transmitter and at least a 3 channel receiver.
10-20amp BEC. DO NOT use the stock Rx/ESC to power your 4 suspension servos, you will burn something out.

M3 Bolt Kit or assorted m3 hardware. We can finish about 98% of the build reusing bolts we removed in conjunction with the hardware supplied in in this kit.

Optional Tools:
Low torque electric hex driver will make your life much easier. There are many bolts that self thread into PETG 3D printer parts. Buy one if you don't already have one, you'll thank me later. This is the one I have: www.amazon.com/dp/B085NRB1YC/...

Its a good idea to watch all of the instructional videos in this playlist before you actually start working on your truck. You can then play the videos in the background and mostly just follow along.
Parts included: (all parts printed in black PETG)
4 link conversion for both front and rear axles. This includes front and rear plates for both axles as well as upper link trusses.
4 lower links, 2 front, 2 rear. These are made to look scale, however feel free to supply your own if you'd like more strength.
4 Wheel adapters, 2 front, 2 rear. These help narrow the track width in order for the tires to sit completely below the body.
1 Steering Servo and Front Suspension Servo mount. This relocates the steering servo and serves as a mount for the two front suspension servos.
1 Front Body Mount
1 SuperScale2020 Mount
1 ESC relocation mount
1 RX relocation mount
2 Hidden Cab Mounts
1 Cab to Bed Mounting Plate

1 Rear Axle Optional 5th wheel upper 4 link mount (used to attach a 5th wheel trailer directly to the top of the rear axle)
2 Bearing Caps for rear axle. You will be removing the stock axle end caps and replacing them with shorter caps. This is where you will be trimming approximately 22mm from the left and right rear axle.
2 Narrow Hex adapters for rear axle.
1 Pair Axle Cutting Jig to be used in vice to help cut left and right rear axle to shorter length and to hold axle while filing flat to match diff cups.
6 bearings

2 m3 x 30mm bolts
20 m2.5 x 12mm bolts

Please remember you will need about 8-10 extra m3 bolts and a couple of m3 nuts to finish assembly which most modelers have in their spare parts bin.
If you plan to run/build/buy a 5th wheel trailer here's what I showed in one of the videos:
