Ok Lux man take it down a peg.
Too much articulation can be too much as i have just experienced.
While driving and testing Big Juggs i got into a tight situation where the rear left wheel started to scub on the back of the jeep body.This caused it to grip to the body and actually drive the tyre over the back taunua cover of the jeep.
All four links were ripped off the truck and diff and completely obliterate a $75 alloy 1\8 scale shock.Once the rim was on the back of the truck it toppled over a good 6-7 metre ciff which caused even more damage.
I have settled it down a tad now and it handles so much better.
I think you will find it will handle better if you take those shocks down a little bit and this will drop your centre of gravity as well.
I'm not having a go at you its just that i want to have a drive of that rig and i don't want you too wreck it on me before i get to have a go Very Happy
