|  got a question??? need help
i started out with a crawler king. not good enough. lol. so i made a custom chassis based off offroader5's design widow. i used a stampede tranny and the setup and layout is good. my problem is i am having extreme twisting issues. the chassis is twisting. should i change out the shocks and springs? its really annoying how much it is twisting. i am currently using the stock crawler king suspension, i am thinking that is the problem. thanks ppls for the help

Your shocks should probably be oriented more vertical and use stiffer rear springs along with a little extra preload on the shock on the side that the chassis twists to. Photos of your setup would be helpful.

The only solution to the actual frame twisting is stregth. More stratigic bracins, thicker/stiffer side plates, etc. Or you just just call it a torsion chassis |
