lol good minds think alike lol, how do you mean your taking the bottom off i had to trim some of the interior bits off were the wheels sit just to get it that low lol

with the bottom on you can only go so low cause the bit between the wheels rests on the floor.lol

so I'm taking the bottom off, using a soldering iron to melt the bumpers on.

and melting the interior bits up.

ill get pics up tomorrow once I've done it.

heres what its like at the moment.

air ride anyone?

I'm just looking at mine now and maybe if i take it all apart get a small hammer hit the inside arches and then chop some more out of the interior plastic were the wheels sit i can make it sit on floor hmm does that sound decent

tip it upside dwn dude and u will see the bits between the wheels will be on the floor when u put it down,

thats why I'm taking the bottom off.

I'm going to try something i will let you know if it works lol

sand the interior plastc just above the wheels and you wil be able to get it lower and just pul the arches out and then if you got a dremel sanding tool just flatten all the bottom off and wont hit the floor I've just done mine lol
