| Articulation problems
Ok I finished my rig and I seem to have articulation problems, as in not enough. I am using the vanquish track bar option and wondering if that might be it. The back has a ton of articulation but the front not so much. Any ideas or set up advice?

It should have 1 tire height or a little less. Got pics? |

You removed one of the front top links, correct? 4 link + Panhard = no movement.

Yeah I removed the other link, using vanquish titanium links. Shocks are 95 mm integy shocks with working resiviours. Also I have the brg shock mounts n front and back.

Do I want the shocks as straight as possible, used to having the shocks at a angle on my Losi 22t

First off if you want more flex, get slightly longer shocks. I have Gmade 103mm shocks on my wraith and I love them. You would want the top of your shocks on the mounts closest to the middle of the chassis. That's how I had mine set up before I put a lowering kit on it and it worked great. Pictures would definitely help. I'm not sure if you can really see it here, but my shocks are leaning more towards the center of the chassis. |

I get 6+ and that's not all because the chassis hits front and rear (4ws) on the servo. I got to make a custom chassis to accommodate my mods. My wraith is slammed too. I recommend going 3 link if you haven't or checking your shocks. I have 103 mm which is very common. I recommend 90-110 mm. Also check your drive shafts cause they might be hitting. Is it a kit or rtr. If its a kit and you put the wrong links on that's definitely the problemo Sent from my iSlow using Tapatalk |

Too much articulation is bad. About 1 tire height is all you want.

You can use those servo de-wangers that move the servo inwards a bit to give more clearance.

I'm using the Losi comp crawler shocks. It is a kit, I did the BGR front and rear shock mounts. They are more like shock hoops then the three hole plastic mounts.yes I am using the vanquish track bar and did the servo relocation as well

I have the king shocks that are 110 but really don't like them. More for looks then actual function. Also have the integy resiviour shocks they are 95mm but the shock body is really big. Just got the Losi comp crawler bottom fill shocks. So far works killer.
