Hi everyone, new-ish hobbyist and first time poster.
Built an FCX24 Power Wagon with some custom suspension links and a few chassis mods to lower the center of gravity. Really loved building this truck and love how it turned out. The flex is amazing!
Problem is, the thing torque twists itself in half, especially when going steep uphill. It will literally spin itself in half, the front right goes up and the front axel will go 90° to the rear and the whole thing does a corkscrew and rolls over horizontally!
I figure this has to do with the very mobile ball joints I put on the rear suspension links. I added some oil filled shocks and loaded up the pre-load on one side which helps a little bit but I still get one front wheel climbing up into the air pretty quickly on any serous uphills.
I read somewhere about flipping the differential gears and reversing the motor but I didn't quite understand and there was no video or pictures.
Anyone have any suggestions on how to tame the torque twist? I really like this truck but it's kinda not that fun to drive because it twists so bad!
