mount your upper links lower on your chassis, and higher on the axle :D |

Triangulate the lowers and running parallel uppers seems to work really well to fight TQ twist. I run this style (GC1) on the rear of my trucks and it really helps. Having all links the same length also helps. |

thanks. move them up one hole or way up to the second hole? i only had two good pics of my 2.2 bruiser hybrid. i guess its sort of a semi scale trail rig. it gets used hard... |

sounds good :thumbsup: i dont think ill e able to move them up to the top hole because the link hits the dig servo. and it looks like it will change the pinion angle alot too. i moved them up one hole and ill see if that makes a difference first.. |

Ah that sucks bud. Yeah test it pretty quick and see what it does. If your still 3 wheelin then ya might want to consider a new axle mount for your upper links. Whats your w/b? |

2 holes is probly going to be too far up. Try 1 hole up. A good mod to do is get your upper links long as possible. That helped out my rig ALOT! |

Looks mighty low to the ground. Are you running a partial droop setup? In the rear, is the left side squatting or is the right side lifting. On my AX-10 I had tried a 50/50 sprung/droop setup. When climbing it would lift the right side of the chassis and really hurt the climbing ability. I raised the chassis .5in and the twist went away. |

its a sprung setup, but the wieght of the rig causes it to settle maybe a 1/4" at ride height. i dont see how i could raise it any. its got 60/40 links....the front i can raise, but i dont see how to lift the rear because of the extra length. on a side note....im having this same problem with my bruised hybrid. yay for me. |
