i cant keep the right front tire to stay on the ground during steep climbs for nothing. ive tried 50wt oil and today i tried a green losi spring(3.7) on the left rear :angry: im now starting to think the problem is in the 4 link. any suggestions? i need to get some pics up for the experts to tell me whats wrong :thumbsup:

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.
