body roll

[reblekid]

hi, i recently took my wk and put the axiel fame and tranny on it. and for some reason when i go foward the body leans to the right and rubs the tire.:-(

I had this happen with my WK when I put the crawler conversion on it. I had to mess with the shock spacers on the stock shocks to adjust for the torque twist when I put the 55T motor in.

well i still have the stock motor, but im getting a 55t soon so that might not be as bad.

You can try what I did. When you drop your 55T in just watch which way the body leans when you take off. Than just ad spacers to stiffen the compressing shock.

ya, that will probly work. thanks. if anybody has more ideas feel free to post them, thanks.

If you four link the rear it will really help alot. All but eliminated my torque twist. Heres how i did mine.

 

[reblekid]

thanks for the advice. im going to be building one today.

 

[reblekid]

i just built one and put it on, im not happy. it still twists. any more advice cuz im about to throw this thing away.

Stiffen up the torque side shock with a heavier oil and stiffer spring. You can also preload the spring. This will help for now until you get your link geometry figurd out."thumbsup"

I am running a stiffer spring on that side also with 80 wt oil. But with the four link and triangulating the lower links , it barely lifts a tire on very steep climbs over 60+ degrees.

Ok, how do you take the shock apart to put oil in it and what wieght do you recomend:lol: and how do you preload it. Thanks
