Hello new here my son has a AX10 i have been have issues when he hits the gas the front right tire lifts off the ground and stays until letting off the gas. I have heard turning the trans 180 can someone let me know what all to do.

Is it just while going up an incline or on the ground? I saw a rig once that had binding in the drive train and it torque twisted terribly. Once the binding was taken care of it was normal again.

Some amount of torque twist is normal. There are several things you can do about that for example, add weight, lower the ride height, adjust springs and shock oil, etc.

it does it on flat ground. i have no binding just when getting on the gas in foward it does not do it in reverse

Sounds like torque twist....is it still stock? or have you made any mods? like upgrading the upper links and mounts,shocks,springs...let me know I can post some pics of my kids to help

it is stock all but high clear links. i did use sticky weights in the tires but other than that is it.

To keep it cheap try running a stiffer spring in the left rear..the new ready to crawl comes set up like that..Witch model do you own?

Pretty much sounds like torque twist. I would lower it some, that will help. What motor are you using? Also if you have a large battery on top of the chassis compared to a small battery lower it's going to make a huge difference difference.

Can also try a 4 link setup, will be trying this myself on my AX10.

My ARTR did that when I got it. Here's some things to do...

1. Get as much weight off of the chassis as possible. Build or buy a battery plate for the front axle.

2. 4 link the rear axle. Put the right upper link under the plate, and the left upper link on top.

3. Stiffer springs/thicker oil helps too, though the above two will make the biggest difference.

I had the same problem with mine switched to the 4 link setup on the rear and some stiffer springs. Also got split battery packs and mounted them on the front axels got them from tcscrawlers.com. That really helped out with my torque twist problems.
