no, you want to do the exact opposite. giving more of an angle will make the vehicle more forgiving and stable all around.

Also, giving more angle will make the shocks "softer" and more progressive.

Duh... thanks for the correction. He is right more horizontal for stability with a soft setup.

Took out the spacers and man the thing turns on a dime now. I can do a 180 at top speed again. Thanks for the ideas. I may try some of the others as time permits. So I guess the only downfall is that I really cant jump it to much now as it seems to bottom out qucker.
I'm guessing a truggy would mean another nitro conversion. I have done several of them and am just kinda burned out on it. As much as I like running them the emaxx is the only vehicle I have ever put a brushless motor on that hasnt fallen apart from the power of the motor. My nitro conversions have also gotton pretty expensive and the maintenance seems to be a bit more.

good to hear you can do a 180 at top speed. i can say you were still lucky to go 3/4 throttle and still do a 180.
im running a 7xl as well geared for 44mph. with my setup, i can only go like 15mph on turns on concrete. any faster any itll flip. i have stiffer springs and thicker oil. when i tried using the stock springs, the sag was CRAZY. i dont know how you can run your truck with the stock springs. i have lipos so its lighter than nimhs. i guess the chevrons have very weak traction or something. im using the losi zombies and they have too much traction.

Yeah I have noticed ever since I made those changes I do have quite a bit of sag, but its the only thing that keeps it from flipping over so I will live with it. I bought another emaxx for doing some offroading and am using this one for street running only. Too bad we cant have the best of both worlds.
The more I look at my new street I hate it. The stuff they put on top is like sand paper. I'm starting to notice the tires getting worn down and chipped, where before I was running without a problem.
