| R1 lifts right wheel.
Unfortunately i cannot add an attachment (video). But my R1 - in a hard right turn - lifts its right front wheel. Does this sound familair to anyone? |

Well, i had the shocks as adviced in this topic: More Articulation But that gave me loads of Torque twist. So i did place the rear ones back to the original mount. Torque twist (front-right) is reduced significant. I am going to make a batteryplate to place a small Lipo on the front axle. Hope the extra weight there will also help. |

| Re: R1 lifts right wheel. https://www.facebook.com/10000872038...type=2&theater I'm thinking this may be your video on FB? I'm not familiar with the R1, but this doesn't look like normal torque twist to me. Steering to the right is causing something to bind in my opinion. At slow speed on level ground and it's doing this? By the time you put shocks on it that are stiff enough to counteract this, it'll be useless as a crawler. Or am I missing something and speaking out of turn? |

i would set it up full droop, install internal springs up front with 2 hole pistons and 35-45 weight shock oil, then turn your shocks upside down! adding weight up front down low will help as well..

You are right, that is my video . I have been trying some things and noticed that if i mount the rear shocks in their stock position, the "effect" is significant less. So i leave 'm as they are now. I also made a battery plate on the front axle for a small lipo. That also helps bringing/keeping the right front wheel down. I checked for binding. Was my first thought as well. But it turns as, as... (what is the expression for it in English?) free as can be. Quote:

Can you rotate the trans 180 degrees? I do it to any scx10 i get and it takes care of it. Sent from my SCH-S738C using Tapatalk |

What's the verdict? Any binding in the drivetrain? #CamBrady2017 |

Nope......I still want longer links, but I can walk this right to 90 degrees, LOVIN IT!!, I almost have too much droop, need a strap to stop the driveshaft from rubbing the skid plate. The battery mount helps Last edited by mikemcE; 08-14-2016 at 11:57 AM. |
