Default wroncho sway/anti roll bar help

i have completed my wroncho and houses traxxas vxl on 2s and its faster than i thought it would be which is not a bad thing its very fun to drive and is expected with this kind of truck, but if i can help out the handling alittle bit this would be better. of course i can always diconnect when ready to crawl this a more trail truck than comp crawler

i have read a few things on here swaybars for the scx10 and wraith have kits to buy but how do i adapt to the wroncho platform

thanks

Something you can do to help with the torque roll is pull the whole transmission and plate out of the frame and flip it around, so the spur gear is facing the front of the truck. Did it to mine, the difference is like night and day, and its free!

Yes do a search on "mirrored transmission" and do that. It works very well.

I also clocked both my axles by lengthening the upper links by about 3mm. I was told this helps too. I haven't noticed a huge difference, but the least it does is keeps the outdrives inside the link area.

i run mine setup the same as how it would be in the wraith only using the scx10 transmission. but the transmission was turned around so the outputs are on the same side as how it would be in the wraith. other thing i did was run the wraith shock with 40wt oil. but made a plate and moved the upper shock mounts up and closer to center about 10mm from stock inner mount. you get the same ride height as the scx10 shocks but the axles twist better. you should not need sway bars if it is setup right.

i'd think that all you would need is a swaybar kit for wraith axles and either an adapter on the frame to hold the swaybar, or even just 2 holes for it to slip through. simple as that.

you can install the Exo open diff in the front axle, it'll handle much better.

i did the tranny swap early on and my axles r on the opposite side of truck so the lift is on the driverside but the lift is not to bad i mean it wheelies so it dosent matter , sorry i just read over my original post i should have stated that being its fast it rolls over so any effort to help keep it to a minimum would be great and its not like its always on it lid, this is trail based setup so i like the higher speed

also my center of gravity is higher i made a mount an L bracket mounted the tranny to now the now the tranny is turned 90 degrees and the motor is the tallest point, then a rather large esc sits behind in the rear and battery sideways by the front shock tower, all in an effort to avoid the water and a straighten drive shaft angle, my axles r pitched as well the rear more than the front to help with driveline angles

i know this is not a short course truck just want to see its ability, crawl, mud, bash high speed trail stuff, sand drags all in one
