|  Body Leans to the Left
The body on my Wraith leans to the left when I am driving it. It goes back to center when I stop. I am new to crawlers so I probably missed an adjustment when I was building this to prevent the lean. I would appreciate any help you would share.

Assuming all shocks and links are correct and not binding, you are dealing with torque twist. Shock springs and links can be adjusted Hang up and Drive |

Is there anyway to adjust to correct torque twist? Not sure what that is.

The driveline rotates in one direction and the chassis reacts in the other. Sway bars should help. I chose to ignore the issue on my Wraith.  |

If you want to try something, a simple no cost tuning is wind down the spring collar on the left front an extra turn or so to pre-load that corner a little, it'll sit a little cockeyed when stationary but will resist dipping over to the left when running. | ||

Hd under drive gears for the axles will help a little.

Here's a look at what the front bar can do. Note the body is square to the front axle  Hang up and Drive |
