Thicker oil can help, among other things. Link and shock placement play a big roll in controlling torque twist. | |

| This is my old setup: .jpg) This is my new setup: .jpg) and other photo here: http://garrett.altervista.org/magazz.../Foto(433).jpg http://garrett.altervista.org/magazz.../Foto(434).jpg http://garrett.altervista.org/magazz.../Foto(435).jpg http://garrett.altervista.org/magazz.../Foto(436).jpg I have moved front shocks more up from the old setup, and i have to do this on the rear shocks too. But i think that it isn't sufficient to eliminate the torque twist. I think that this shocks are too soft... |

| I would drop the ride height, your center of gravity is too high. Lower it until the upper links are flat or parallel to the ground. Your lower shock mounts should be moved off the links and re-located to centerline of your axles. Try to mount the top of your shocks, after you move lowers, so the shocks sit almost vertical. If you get some stiffer springs and thicker oil for your shocks that will also help too. There are some pics of my TXT here, it's not a Maxx but the same principles apply. http://www.rccrawlermedia.com/rcc-gallery/album01 |

| Deffinently lower the ride heigth so you can get a lower COG, and mount the lower shocks to the axles, that should solve the problem. |
