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%! |

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? |

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.
