as i look at it could be because the esc has such a harsh drag brake that it lifts of the rear left wheel when i let go of the throttle. could that be?

Yes, it is torque twist. As for stopping it, I am running a 4 link setup on the rear of mine. I use a stock servo plate mounted on the rear, and have 2 holes drilled in them, one for each link. If you add spacers under one link so it sits up higher than the other, or one on top and one on bottom, it will create an off center roll center that will neutralize the torque twist. torque twist - pix needed! | |

search for mirrored transmission this should eliminate all tt,it has for mine anyways. i also run the four link out back and out front. little changes at a time to see what works best for you, good luck.

the wheels in the front dont really come off the ground its more the rear ones do when i stop the throttle quickly. it goes along then when i let go the back left wheel comes off the ground.

check your shocks setup too. I have experienced with this problem when i use droop setup but now change back to normal shocks.

Installing the Axial gear set in front also helps torque twist AX30401 - 36/14 Gear Set |

Since the front is pulling the truck and rear is lagging behind it dosen't twist. I like it a lot. I got 15th place out of 36. I have no DIG yet. You can read this long link. Near the end you can read about peoples comments on torque twist. Optional Ratio Gear Sets That is what BENDER is running. He was first place in our last comp.

Brad sent me both over and under drive gears to play around with, and after testing all kinds of combo's, I'm currently running underdrive front and rear.....I just wish there was an under-underdrive set to put in the rear for even lower gearing back there for the drag effect;)  Last edited by Tanis; 06-04-2009 at 11:39 PM. | |

it all has to to with suspention set up, read up on 4 links, squat / anti squat, COG, roll axis, link length, triangulation etc etc will all play a part in how your suspention works, you will never eliminat the forces that cause TT on a shafty but you can make them so absolutly minimal that you will have no idea they are there all these things like running the back shock with a heavier oil or a stiffer spring are just bandaid fixes and dont really solve any thing just hide it. with my set up my junk climbs till it has to grip or goes over backwards and does it all with out any noticable TT |

if you want to alleviate TT, get a skidplate that "inboards" the lower links.... 4link the upper links(these two "mods" reduced TT greatly for me)...... my TT was gone before I got the overdrive gears up front but from what I've read that helps(not only TT, but turning radius, and climbing).... flip your tranny around?-I read something about that one. while your at it get yourself a GC2(not mine, I'm keeping mine now), got impatient trying to work with the ax10 chassis-so I picked up a GC2 and all of a sudden TT was gone. |
