what chassis are you running that would help also. Stock aftermarket.

take your stock shocks and try a droop setup. It just seems to work for most guys. But as for me i would look into a different chassis. As it is one of the weak links on the axial if you ask me. There are much better options out there for you.

very limited options to what you can do with it. Link wise shock wise. there are much better units out there. That can be had to make your truck perform much better.

To be honest. I would have to say go with the t1e chassis right now they seem to be leading the pack. I run a tcs edge tuber and like it sometimes. It is a bit top heavy. But than again i cant stand my axial anymore since i now have a moa rig again.

 The biggest drawback to it,is the fact that it's allot wider than most. That's easily dealt with. There's been a handful of guys,myself included,that have modded an Axial chassis so it's skinny. I'll see if I can dig up some older pictures.After making the chassis right at 2" wide,it seemed to help it allot. With some good 4" shocks set up sprung with some good long upper links,it can work very well. When I ran that chassis,I made my own bent lowers and ran the stock straight lowers as upper links. Worked VERY well for me.  | |

Here's one set up I ran a long time ago. Wanted loooooong uppers. For rear uppers,I doubled up the stock upper links. In the front,those uppers are stock lowers.   Last edited by Reflection; 03-30-2010 at 08:50 PM. |

If you are going towards a scale build,no question,a Wreckluse would be a very good choice. I've never driven one personally,but have seen them work and talked to guys that own them. They do perform very well for a scale chassis. If your wanting to build a comp rig,I think the first thing I'd do personally,is get a good set of 4" shocks. Allot of chassis's out there set up for a competition rig,are designed around a 4" shock. That being said,a good set of shocks will not be a waste of money. You can run them on the stock chassis for a little while while you decide on what chassis you want. You can even narrow up the stock chassis with your new shocks and run it for a while longer. | |
