Default Wraith Torque Twist Help!!

Hey Guys

I've been messing with my custom wraith and i'm getting really sick of the chassis/torque twist. I've messed with the shocks quite a bit (adding thicker oil and different springs) and i added some custom anti-sway bars. Everything has helped but there is still quite a bit of TT. I'm running a tekin Pro4 3300 w/mmp on 3s. Overdrive HD gears in front and stock gearing HDs in rear. I run droop w/ softer springs and heavy oil. I do have a steel tube chassis that is a bit heavier so that probably doesn't help either. I don't know much about anti-squat and moving the links to help with the TT so i could really use some help. i have some pics of my current setup so if anyone has some ideas on what i could do i would greatly appreciate it. I also might make a custom skid plate in the future so i can change the location of the link mounts if that would help too.

I will try to flip just my rear axle housing. I have a long rear end so that should help a lot with the drive line angle. Other than that nothing in there really helped. I've switched ring gears and flipped axle housings but nothing has made much of a difference. I did put the pumpkins on the opposite side of the twist to have the weight help with keeping the tire down and that helped a bit but i need to do something that is more substantial. Did you find anything that helped?

I can't flip the rear housing yet because i don't have the right axle trusses. After thinking about it and reading all sorts of TT posts on here i don't think it would make much of a difference though. Maybe if you had gears on one side of the tranny so the drive lines would spin in opposite directions that would help.

I think the length of your trailing arms is your biggest problem. That's a hell of a lever to try and control. Stiffer springs and thicker oil can only do so much. Have you tried attaching your sway bars to the trailing arms to get the bars that attach in more of a vertical position? That may help some, but i'm not positive.

Yeah the length helps in a lot of situations but does have some drawbacks. I will attach the sway bars to the trialing arms though like I did on the front and test it out. It looks like i can bring the top of the shocks in about 1/4" so i will try that out too. Probably could do a stiffer sway bar as well. Everything helps.
