Review MOTORDYNE SHOCKWAVE E370

Juruki

from some of the pictures i can see ground clearance is good.
Where are the lowest parts of the exhaust? Are the exhaust pipes the lowest parts of the car in some places?
car and exhaust looks good btw!

Excellent question.

The lowest point of the exhaust is exactly under the rear axle where you can only bottom out so much before the suspension hits the stops and all other remaining clearance is determined by the fixed wheel diameter.

If the lowest point of the exhaust is anywhere fore or aft of the rear axle that low point quickly becomes more vulnerable to scraping. There would be a loss of clearance by extrapolating that same low point to other parts of the car while going over a speed bump for example. So that is exactly what we didn't do.

When ground clearance is an important issue, put the lowest point directly under the rear axle and then make it as high as possible. And that's exactly what we did with the Shockwave))).

Here is the pic I promise. The pipes at the end are the lowest point as you can see I didn't measure properly but from the ground it looks to me that its 4.25 inches from the ground.
