torque twist

[chessmaster]

when my axial ax10 is on a flat surface it tilts to one side when i apply the throttle. is that torque twist and how do i stop it.

Yes, that is torque twist. You can do a number of things to fight TT, but it will always be there on a shaft driven vehicle (both 1:1 and RC). You can mess with the shocks (stiffen up the shock that is receiving the torque with either a stiffer spring or different weight oil). However, the best solution I have seen and what seems to work well on my AX10 is running a different gear ratio in one of the axles. I installed the higher ratio in my front axle and that seems to have eliminated 99% of the torque twist that I was experienceing.

I have had my MRC for 3 weeks and after lots of crawling i have learned it can be very helpful when crawling. It does still bite me but it works for you when you learn how to use it right.

4 link, stiffer drivers rear spring + heavy oil, move rear shocks out and upright, mirror trans, asymmetric rear upper links, add rear anti-squat, weight front tires, faster front gears, faster front gears.

my truck lifts the front wheel like 4in off the ground when i go full forward and like 3in when i go full reverse
ive already weighted the wheels so ill start with the next thing on the list

I dont know about very helpful. There is no doubt that when you are climbing something rough and you need to lean to the left its helpfull, but in any other situation I can think of not neccissarily
