fixing the txt-1 twist problem
 

what have people done to fix this problem?? any help would be appreciated.

Re: fixing the txt-1 twist problem
 

mount upper and lower links on same mount, double triangulation, different shock mounting setup as far as i know

Yep,
and lengthen wheel base. Use a heavier oil and spring as well. Lower ride height if you are using cantilevers. If you are doing all these things, you will eliminate the twist by about 90%!

anyone have a pic of how you can mount the uppers and lowers together?

thanks guys

anyone have a pic of how you can mount the uppers and lowers together?

and how long should i make the upper and lower links to extend the wheelbase? does the driveshaft need to be longer also?

yeah i know.

i also did run heavier shock oil in the back right. but my friend had my txt for so long when he made the servo plates that i forgot which weight. the truck still flops around like its having a seizure. what is the stock oil weight that comes with the txt? and what does everyone run?

Re: fixing the txt-1 twist problem
 

Im actually running 70 weight if i remember and losi red springs. the twist is barely noticeble. ( im running losi threaded shocks with the spring perches pretty close to a 1/4 of the way down to the end near the shaft) the ride is still soft enough for the jumps, yet gives me good articulation still over rocks/curbs/neighbors kids etc...I might pour some 100 weight and orane springs next to see how it goes....good luck with your TX.
