Ive read alot of posts where ppl say too much flex is bad, but after doin some crawling today I decided I want more. I was thinkin about getting some adjustable shocks, and adjusting them so theyre longer than stock, then making longer lower links, maybe even bent links.. but will that help me get more flex? I already relocated the top of the shocks to the chassis and did away with the electronics plate thing. what do you think? btw this is on a losi mini rock crawler..almost stock

Well at least your reading"thumbsup"
Now,why wont you listen
Look,you should always go with your instincts.
if yo think you want more flex,do it.
But if you find your truck prefers to slinky its way down,instead of climb.
Then your looking to find about 35* of articulation per tire.
For more articulation you can take out any preload in the shocks
you can also use softer springs
you can also lower the shock on the chassis if its an option
and you can look for binds.
What I mean by binds is-look closely at your links,shocks,ect. during articulation is anything hitting? can you space or lower things to get more
motion.
When I got my MRC it still had the 3 link and shocks were mounted in a new hole on the chassis. It would articulate almost 90 degrees with the 3 link. The torque twist was so bad though. It looked cool but was not efficient for competion or anything extreme really... If you want articulation I would keep the 3 link. If your running stock body you may need to chop it a litte for clearance.
