|  suspension help
:?I just upgraded my rtc to the aluminum links, took the servo saver off for more steering. Now when I flex the suspension by crawling one of the front tires up a box or wall the dang thing rolls over. It didn't do that before. What gives? Any ideas?

How much flex do you have? Is the suspension stiffer than what it was before? Do you have any weight in the wheels?

Its sound like your car is too light. Do you have weight, in tires? How heavy your car is?

You may have lost a bit of articulation. A good rule of thumb is just enough to sit a tire on top of a pop can before it lifts one of the rear.

Did you upgrade to bent links? If you did, they sometimes bind with the shock bottom and could be causing less articulation. That less flex could cause it to just exceed it's tip over point, and thus lead to a roll.

They are bent and I did notice that they touched the shock bottoms. Any suggestions?

Not enough to worry about. Take a look around here and see how many people run all thier links in the stock position... Just do what you gotta do, experiment, and learn something along the way.  |
