Torque twist

[lincpimp]

Shafties will always have some torque twist...

If you have not added weight to the front wheels yet it will make a huge difference in crawling ability. It will not help torque twist though. Usually some added preload on the right (not sure of the side, but it would be the side that compresses while going forwards) rear spring will help with torque twist. Some link setups do twist more than others though, my j-keeper does not really twist, even with the big outrunner...

Thats what i hear james . It's my LR that compresses under power & the RF lifts under power . I put thicker oil & added preload to the left RR . That helped but i would like to get it a little better . so i have to order stiffer springs from tower .

i have 4 links front and rear
70wt oil on LR and a bit of preload.

im getting a good 61 degrees with it. There will always be Twist tho. Just gotta learn to drive with it
