actually you can stiffen the left rear ahock to prevent torque twist i have big bores and i put 2 thin spacers on the rr and a thin and a little thicker on on the lr you just have to experment

Its not really an AX-10 anymore. Thats Crawls2thewalls, but you can clearly see its on the FatDog Tuber. K9 took some time engineering the chassis and there is a great chance some of his design helped remove some twist. Then with Crawls setup looks good.

ya, its me and i'm pretty sure binary is on the right track with the design theory.. k9's fatdogs are amazing and my link geometry is way different than the stock setup.. its split 60/40 and the rear end is four linked with the TCS BOOMERANG MOUNT.. i also did some experimenting with eepee's upper link idea's and now i also run them staggered.. click_here_to_see_eepee's_thread as of now, i'm using big bores with axial shafts, 50wt oil and losi white springs on all corners.. no spacers in the front and a half inch in the rear.. still absolutley no twist.. |

i noticed a really low down top link mount producing whati think in theory would be alot of anti squat, im thinking this has something to do with it, could we get an up veiw from up top? makes me think i need to lower my link mounts and lenthen them a lil more |

this one should show the link geometry a little better |

| I done this in the past to help with the torque twist but it doesn't prevent it, more or less hides it. Good link geometry is the best way to prevent it.

I am running Traxxas 4in big bore shock bodies with the stock axial shafts and springs. I am also running 50wt oil in the left front and right rear. Then I am running 70wt oil in the right front and left rear. I am not using any preload spacers and my crawler has virtually no torque twist.
