How much flex are you talking? You should have about the same flex as the height of your tire

its about tire height articulation..... it climbs way better than my buddies night crawler how it is right now though i was just curious i got a set of losi gold springs on the way and i was just reading that too much articulation is bad lol im confused now is it good to go the way it is or should i change to some angled/bend links also?

Bent links are going to help on your breakover. I am running losi golds, F&R. They are super smooth, but I'm running 20wt shock oil F&R.

PM me. I have a set of Axial Machined links tapped to heavy duty 4mm revo ends. And the front has the bent rod end you need for front axle connection. You can see them in my post here: Axial XR10 Tips & Tricks They have only two days of use since I change my rig to bodyless right after that pic   |

Too much flex is bad. Like other's have stated about tire height is good. If you are still having problems getting it to flex properly, you might want to check your shock's. If they have too much oil in them or too much air in them, that can make them stiff.

Another thing to look at is any part of you're suspention (binding) IE touching any other parts on you're rig. If so then you are limiting the travel. Here is an EXCELLENT thread with tons of info about the xr10. DT has done a ton of research on the XR10. Check it out, Take from it what you need. Not all will work with what you have, But there is is alot of info for you. DT's UGC Viper Good luck, hope you do well. .
