Keeps Rolling Over.......

[Old School RCer]

I give up I spent most of the day searching this site for the answer. My rig keeps rolling over when side hilling. The problem is that the truck is no were near the point it should tip over. Any help would be great. I have every thing on the rig as low as I can get it. Also the wheels have weight in them. Soft springs on the front stockers in the rear & CKRC stage 2 kit.

How do you know its nowhere near the point that it should be rolling over? Do you have somebody crawling with you to compare to?

Are your tires folding over or are they doing their job and supporting the truck?

How low is it? Some people think 3" is low... Its not

Truck will nearly stand on its side on the bench, the tires might be an issue losi R Claws with soft fomes

3 low on the front axle on the left steering servo on the right.
3 on the stock servo plate in the rear.

A truck standing on its side on the bench is not a sign of its sidehilling abilities. Its the size of the tires that let it stand on its side. Think about a rig with 3" tall tires, no way will it stand on its side on the bench. However, it will sidehill much better than the rig with 5" tall tires because its setting 1" lower

Regarding the foam setup. If the tires are folding over you need stiffer foams. I run Proline ultra firm stadium truck foams when I am worried about sidehilling ability. Start there.

This is as close to the point of no return as i can get it. But on the rocks it seams to roll over at half that angle.

theres your answer. Just because it can be placed like that means nothing when the tires are moving and your steering/etc.

Think of the forces being applied on the bench compared to sidehilling. Where are the tires actually supporting the rig? See what I mean?

As stated above the foams I am using now are soft and slow to rebound, what would be something in the line of foams to try? Kind of a good all around foam! What would be the dissadvantage of using to stiff of a foam?

the tread wont confrom as much so you may lose some traction and you may experience some bounce. Every rig is different, start firm and soften up till your happy...there is no "perfect" setup.
