Default 4 link adjustments

Is there a prefered side(on top or underneath) to mounting the rear link ends on the servo plate on the rear 4 link set up? I have always ran in on under the servo plate, but I was thinking that it might "squat" less if it mounted on the top, but I wanted to get others opinion. Also, does running a "wider" stance, or outward holes help with Torque Twist? Thanks for your time, pics always help too. I am running the HBZ Warthog chassis with 4" losi shocks and I am looking to make little improvements to the crawler(are we all?) Thanks,

i run mine ontop and as close as i could get them at the axle end and as wide as i could at the frame. some people run asemetrical and put the "passenger side" on top and the drivers underneath, but iv had the best resaults with having both on top in the rear, and both underneath on the front

Thanks for input. Can you see a difference with the TT having the passenger side up 8mm higher? I am using the Losi 4 crawler shocks with standard springs in all 4 corners(but the preload nut is a little tighter on the left rear) and it still will raise the right front on steep inclines. I am looking to see what it working for others. Thanks for the help and send pictures of your set up if you can.

I would suggest looking into the Optional Gear Ratios that Axial is coming out with. 36/14 is what I going with so the front tires spin a tad faster than rear. This should help with TT alot.

oh yea.

its a combination of goodness.

4linking it, finding my lines (cog, force squat etc) dialed it in.

TT was still present.

then i spread the rears out 1 notch. much less TT.

raise the left rear w 2 locknutz, bareley any TT
