Default Need some help

I just build my first crawler, it runs good but the only problem i have is when the wheels stucks on rocks, it starts twisting the front axle causing it to turn upside down. What is the problem here? My wheelie king is still 2wd, i'm waiting for the 4x4 conversion. Is my shocks too soft?

Is it a crawler, or is it a stock WK, or somewhere in between? Pics?

it is a crawler with 4 links suspension type. I don't have pics right now, but i can explain a what i have done to it.

I replaced all stock links for longer allu links. Servo on the front axle, battery on rear axle. On the chassis, there is only the tranny left in it original place.

Is it problem very common?

I fixed the problem with thicker oil and a little stiffer shocks. Thanks anyway.
