if you have the panhard bar almost level it will go away. i always run a limiter on the front with zipties and the holes provided. that will help maintain correct geometry up front.

also check where your upper shocks are mounted, looks like your CG is high.

the "angle bar"(panhard bar ) needs to be close to level. there is a hole near the diff on the long side and a slot in the brace that holds the panhard to the chassis. put a ziptie through the botom hole . then runn it through the slot up top and put another ziptie on that one to hold it. tighten it until your ride hieght in the front has dropped a bit and the panhard is leveled out . this will remedy your situation by correcting the geometry.

I'm stumped. I checked mine a few times now and don't see the shocks slant like that. Pressed down the chassis with and w/o batteries and the chassis rebound level. I don't even have strap limiters on.

Did you change any links or shocks mounting positions?

I got it well I think so. I call Kyosho and was asking he was stump to. then he start to laugh. he said take a look at the top of your left shock it is pushed past the ball. I think he got it I will see when I get home. Man I will not even go inside before I look at this

Checking your pic...I think the Kyosho guy got . Great customer service.

How did you manage to make it pass the "ball"? I mean, it is already hard popping it in place as it is.

Dude, I might just get one of these due to the freakishly good costomer support! I didn't even see that! Kyhosho gets another A+ in my books.
