I have built a custom WK and used some off the shelf axial links with the links from the crawler conversion for upper links im using hot racing oiless air internal spring shock (not very good shocks) also using some Tmaxx shocks i had laying around because this is a heavy rig My problem is my chassis will lean to one side and move my axles out of square so when i hit the throttle it turns the opposite way not sure what i did wrong or how to fix so would someone please help me this is my first build |

It might help of you post a picture of the set up you running so people can have a visual, I'm also doing my first build so I'm not much help but I'm sure if people can see you set up it'd be easier to call out what wrong. Good luck

I think you are talking about Torque Twist. You can cut it back buy adjusting your shocks and link locations. On an Axial, you can also swap out the ring/pinion axle gears to overdrive the front (or underdrive the rear, or both) and that will also help. Search Torque Twist (In titles) and you will find lot's of info and fixes. Last edited by johnnyh66; 01-15-2013 at 10:30 AM. |

when you give it throttle the chassis rolls to one side? i think you need to start with stiffer springs. |

I could be wrong here, but the bottom links look to wide at the skid. Maybe triangulate them more? Also, that chassis looks HEAVY. Maybe cut out the un-needed material and lighten it up?

Eureka  the chassis redesign fixed it sort of its lighter so i can use my maxx shocks without some spacers to stiffen it still torque steers a little but much better than before its about 2lbs lighter new problem my servo gears are gone need a new servo ill probably rebuild it and save it for a spare (Hitec 645mmg ultra torque) any suggestions for a better replacement |
