Default torque shift

How do I cure the torque twist in the chassis when I am crawling with my TLT? When I am climbing hills and I get on the throttle all it wants to do is lift the right front wheel and I can't figure out why that is. Thanks for the help.

There are tons of tricks, running a stiffer spring, or stiffer preload in the left rear helps a ton. Having your shocks mounted on the axles instead of the links helps. Having your shocks standing up more rather than laying down helps. Overall geometry of your links has a ton to do with it.

take your upper links and mount them closer to the bottom on the chassis.... i have mine on the same poing and it got rid of torque twist entirely

I tried that link setup out on my maxx axles and it just wouldnt have it.

I found it wouldnt let the axle remain level when the shocks were pressed down and interfered with ground clearance quite alot.

Maybe its me who did sumat wrong i dont no :?
