(1) Remove the bumpstops from the shocks. They are the little black rubber cylinders at the bottom of the shock

(2) 4 link the front

(3) Get different shocks

Why do you want more flex? It's a scaler. No disrespect intended. Just curious.

i just got a new honcho also and i had the same issue, i went to the crawl space and they were very helpfull . they sold me a set of ax-10 shocks giving me alot more travel and droop , also it stopped the servo from hitting the frame under flex. realy made a diference

You need a minimum of 90*, the truck is totally useless without that much.
