Is it still the stock chassis with the 3 link setup? If so I found that to be pretty typical with mine. I went to the 4 link plates from TCS on both ends and it all but eliminated axle walk for mine. The only other thing that comes to mind is a silly but necessary question......did you mount the links in same holes on the sides of the chassis? Meaning that there are many holes to choose from, did you maybe get the 2nd hole on one side and the 3rd on the other,etc. Just my 2 cents. Cheers!  |

If you are running the high clearance links which are prebent and you got in a good bind you can bend one with the throttle. Are you running bent links? Compare them side to side with each other. Might be the problem

I Watched One Of Our Guys Fold One At Our Comps And Did It Look Goofy. It Bent About Another Five Deg Or So.
