link's are killing me..

[OHU812]

Ok guys been reading till my eyes bleed and just cannot find and good strait answers for a dumb old Infantryman with a high school education.. here is my rig..


now we do alot of off camber climbs on smooth rocks.. and that is my worst nightmare is Off camber.. so far I have used this chassis once.. and it seems good but still not like I would like to see it..
Here is how I am running in the rear..

I am told your anti or lack of squat is where you links intersect out the back of the truck well mine would do that inhouse.. is that bad.. I know some of you guys are wizzard's of this stuff please give me some pointers as to shock and link set up and I will try and and get back to you also please tell me in short terms why you made those choices.. Thanks a ton for any and all help I might get...

Not a pro, but it seems your rear upper links are rather far apart.

Also, have you tried running with a droop setup instead of sprung? Really helps with off-camber sections.

Yeah, I would try moving your upper links in some that might help

On the droop thing I really dont think it would work with the chassis the way it is now you wouldnt have any GC and you would drag

Triangulation does nothing for squat/anti squat numbers.


If you want to adjust your squat/anti squat,this is the only picture you need.



For anti squat or a greater amount of it,put more vertical separation at the chassis vs. the axle.....in the rear.

Right now,your rigs got a touch of squat in the rear and a ton of anti squat in the front....best I can tell anyway. You got something funky going on with your rear links. WAY to much anti squat in the front as well.


BUT,a droop car works a bit different,since you want the squat numbers to aid keeping the shocks compressed keeping the car planted.

One major thing I see wrong is your right rear upper link is in the wrong hole it needs to be moved up. Are you running full, droop or semi droop? What is going wrong when you side hill? Does the rig side hill better one one side than the other?

Mabey you can help me out here Raptorman but to me the rear links would be better if you moved them up a few holes and closer together out back.

but thats just how i run mine and it works well

He has more than enough triangulation in his lowers you only need 14 degrees. His mismatched link height at the chassis can cause some undesirable affects though. :-(

Go re read my post. Thats what I told him to do.

Front axle will be opposite since the rotational forces of the axle under acceleration is reversed

OK i see

[RcFrankenstein]

also in the pic just left of the circled area, the upper link is mounted under the servo plate while the other is on top

that one up and one down set up actually helped my off camber drivablity a ton.. but I will try it back to stock and see how it does.. when I had it like that the set up was a tube chassis... like I said earlier I have had very little time on this set up..

here is how it is acting were we crawl..
