Question body lean and how to fix it ????

ok I have a creeper and I just got done putting the stage @ kit and some other hop_ups. Hers the thing for some reason the body leans to the right and down. I have set all the shocks to the top ands it still does not work right when I get a chance I will put some up.

Try PMing Redking about this. He recently setup his Creeper and his body has so much lean it looks like a fat chick is driving:-P He said it had something to do with the way his shocks were set up.

I'll also try to get him to chime in here.

You might want to check to see if all the springs have the same stiffness. Maybe you have softer springs on one side. You could also check to see if theres a equal amount of shock oil in the shock tubes. Hopefully this helps.

pics will help. how is your weight distribution? did you install the esc on the side of the trans housing like venom suggests or did you put it on the upper links? i have most of the stage 2 kit in my creeper, except the springs. using the stock springs i noticed that i had a slight lean to the body, figured i didn't get the oil the same in the shocks. i had the "fat chick driving" look because i had no springs and was relying on the oil in the shocks. looked funny, but beat out a berg on one course to take the best score with a -1

the sooner you can post pics the faster we may be able to help you
good luck

Fernando's right. I had that problem before with my rig until I rebuilt it and got same amount of shock oil to each one of them with same spring softness.
