| Got a problem with the sclaer:(
Well its a x-trail chassis with tlt axles and a four link set up, dont know if i set it up wrong or what but the shocks are pretty stiff but when i turn it seems to have super bad torque twist and my tires grab at my hilux body:-( Twist to the passenger side. Dont know if i have bind somewhere or steering screwed up, maybe even some out wack links? Steering servo is also mounted to frame. Any help i would be most greatful for. Would like to start compin it soon! Wont get very far with this though. Thanks

Ive you have bad torque twist your shocks are probably too soft. As for the tires grabbing the body, sounds like you either need to raise it up a little or round off the bottom corners of the wheel wells so the tires dont grab them as bad. Couple pics may help as well. |

Another thing that combats torq twist and is an easy mod is to inboard the upper end of the shock and outboard the lower end of the shock as far as you can. It would also help if you would upload a video of it in action with the body off... |

I don't have a frame mounted servo on my rig. But i run axial shocks in droop on the front and traxxas shocks with soft springs on the rear. It gets a lot of flex and no tq twits. Ill add a pic tomorrow if needed.
