Do you have a picture of your crawler? It's kind of hard to tell you what to improve without seeing it.

Simple answer is get all the weight as low as you can, and slightly biased towards the front.

yea, put all of your electronics as low as you can, and move your battery up front, be as low to the ground as you can, while still keeping a good amt of clearance

You can flatten out your lower links to lower your Center of gravity, try to get them parallel to the ground if possible. Looks like you already have your shocks in the furthest hole on your lower links. So maybe try flipping your lower links around. It's hard to tell with the body on, but if you have any electronics (reciever, speed control) on top of the chassis, you can put those on the axles. You can also lower the body, it looks to be sitting up pretty high.

Maybe you can split your battery and then get it more down at the axels.
