| Excessive body roll
Hey guys my rig has been in several different configurations but never really noticed the amount of body roll I have just driving around. Currently running a front motor with an rc4wd planetary trans going into an rc4wd t-case mounted to a wraith skid. When there's any amount of resistance to the drive motor the entire rig leans. What can I do to limit that roll or even eliminate it all together. Thanks for any help, I can't currently post any pics for some reason but hopefully you've got an idea what I'm running and dealing with.

If you have pre-loadable shocks, pre-load the shocks on the lean side. I have a 1/6 Jeep that does that all the time due to torque twist. Pre-loaded the right rear shock, and it runs straight as an arrow.

Swaybars would help with that, there are plenty of options for the wraith. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk |

Are you running a hard body or lexan? Some of it, I'm sure, is torque twist. That's when you see the truck lean to one side as you get on the throttle. But if it's a big, heavy body that can cause true body roll. |

What rig are you running? Chassis, suspension set-up, weight etc? |

I've had the same issues with my bomber, I know a lot of folks that run the sway bar on their bomber / wraith and everyone swears by them for the most part. I put 4 shocks in the back of mine and it helped out tremendously.
