Default Xtrail issue

I have been running an xtrail chassis along with my ARTR AX-10. Is it suppose to flex more in the rear than the front? It begins articulation in the rear no matter how the truck is in almost all situations and then will start to articulate in the front. On steep situations it also torques the rear axle. It extends the suspension what would be the passanger side rear wheel. I have a 4 link plate on the rear and 30wt oil front and rear. I used the xtrail hardware kit with it. I have all of my electronics in the front between the front axle and tranny including the battery. Maybe I need some weight over the rear??? I am running no weight in the wheels.

Torque twist is normal on any shaft driven truck. there are several ways the help get rid of most of it or at least hide it. most people run 3-12 oz. of lead weight in the front wheels and about half that in the rear. running an asymmetrical link setup on the rear helps. try putting the rear driver side link on top of your 4-link plate and the passenger side under. you can also try to preload the internal spring on the driver rear, or even find a stiffer replacement. hope that helps.

are you runnning any internal springs? I am assuming it is setup with stock shocks in droop. More info would help.
