Weight in the wheels Lighter battery Smaller battery Thicker shock oil to dampen excess movement Use the bigger stabilizer bars and firmer springs to keep the top end from wanting to lean over on side hills. Although this will degrade your suspension articulation elsewhere. On inclines where youre going forward up the hill firmer springs in the rear will help the rig from going over backwards. So will more weight in the front wheels than in back. Overall, I've learned to drive extremely slow in off camber situations. Last edited by 860Crawler; 10-11-2008 at 07:29 AM. |

I run about 4oz in all the wheels and flat irons. The flatter tire along with the extra weight has helped. If you change your shocks out and lose the cantis that will help too....

I moved the battery tray and electronics tray forward as far as I could and lowered the battery tray as much as I could. I am running a small 3s lipo pack. I mounted the lower back links in the back hole on the frame and also moved the transmission forward on the skid. I am also running 60 wt shock oil and the stiffer springs in the back. This has made a big difference in how it handles hills. I am climbing stuff I would of never figured I would before. RM "Do not take life too seriously...You will not get out alive!"

It does take a little bit more patents and had to mess around with the drag break to not put to much weight forward. | |
