Problem with gmaxx setup - 01.22.2007, 09:32 PM

I have the problem with easily spinning out the vehicle on the road and at a dirt track, and I can not wheelie unless(not that i want to) i fully punch on the throttle from get go. I don't feel like the truck handles great like my stock nitro revo 3.3.

I have the gmaxx chassis, suspension, single speed, powerstrokes, and 40 series bowties on velocity wheels. I would like a higher stance but The powerstrokes have to be placed on the most inner setting on the shock tower and most outer setting on the arm for the truck to bottom out before the max commpression of the shocks to make sure they don't get bent. I have 30wt oil all around and hard white springs.

Any suggestions?

turn the trunbuckles in the back of the maxx that control the knuckles movement. turn the turnbuckles enough to where the knuckles are not straight and they are angled toward the front, this will make the wheels when installed apperare to be pionted inward and this should fix the problem. i know this because on most cars like mini t and xxxt the rear arms point forward and i asked why this was and they said to prevent pealouts so i assume the same property works on the maxx when they are angled(the wheels) the get more bite and dont pull agenst each other as much.

Yeah rear toe will help a lot on stability, try a little at a time till you get it the way you want it


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise

front toe angle if any should always be toe-out.
camber, try around two degree's and see how your tires wear.
if they wear equal, keep 2 degree's.
if not, adjust accordingly.

eyeball should do and you could also pop of the turnbuckle and lay them next to each other to see if they are the same legnth.
