As you can see from my (badly) described notes, I’m having an issue with the axle twisting to the left or right when the car flexes.

The front has some flex, but not nearly as much as the rear. I upgraded the rear to a 4-link setup, and I’m running 75mm shocks. Before you flame me for the 75mm shocks, they’re adjusted all the way down, so they sit at around 59mm, which is basically the original shock length.

The problem is that when the suspension flexes and uses the full range of the shocks, the axle starts twisting sideways. This causes the body to get stuck instead of allowing the wheel and axle to move properly.

As you can see, the body is basically floating in the air. That’s because the axle is locked in that position, and the wheel can’t twist back, leaving the whole car stuck like that.

Is there any way to prevent the axle from twisting sideways while still keeping the suspension flex? I really want to get this project working because it’s going to be crazy once it’s finished, but this is the one major problem I’m currently facing.

Thank you for all the comments in advance <3

It’s my first time ordering from Aliexpress I found this one that are available for me

What you guys think about this purchase Any changes needed or it’s perfect ?

The shocks are 77 mm for a reason I want to make the springs light so it will sit in the middle when it’s not in use but when it will crawl it will do its thing and fully expand the shock

I got the idea from YouTube and it explains that this is the best idea if you want a trail and crawler at the same time and for mn82s I could not find someone that did the same sadly

What will you add or delete ?

Should I get spacers for the wheels I want the wheels to look aggressive and make the car hard to roll over

If you looked at my last post my shocks are too stiff and I want them gone

I decided to take the old shocks out of the build and just buy a new ones

I will try to explain the shocks I want it should be for crawling and I want the ideal stance to be at in the middle not fully extended or fully rested I want it to look like a picture that is included on top (not a car pic)

Is it possible to have a shock that ideals at middle but when you need to use it it extends perfectly if there is pls I need it and if you guys gonna give me a link or a picture of it I would appreciate it <3

Aliexpress will be the best

The car model is mn82s 1/12 scale just in case

Thx for helping guys !

So I got this shocks from Temu ( only supported for me sadly) and they are too stiff they said that I could cut the spring and make it less stiff but when I did it was just slightly more softer

One of them is leaking little like too little so that is not my priority for now I want them to be soft and keep the lifted look I like the way it is but I want it to be smooth

Do you guys have any hacks or something that I could use to make it softer

Or I have to change it my budget is cooked 😂

I’m trying my best to make it fully black and white but the accident that you can see on the paint job kinda made it good I think at least

So the question is I ordered the full metal for the back and front (4 link at the back) so the metal gonna be fully metal color and I want to match it

Can you recommend color mix or something I want to make like 2 colors not like half half I want primary color and 2 color if you know what I’m trying to say

If you can send a photo or something of your Rc color matching with a metal upgrades I would appreciate it thank in advance

Just upgraded to bigger wheels what you think do they look good or not for scale?

Yea When you are new to something you make beautiful mistakes or big mistakes in my case I think I made the car look more worn down in a good way 😂 Lesson learned don’t use alcohol cleaning supply for the body or it will make this kinda of pattern mine is 1 of 1 if from now 😄

Question I removed the front axle and make the car rare drive only will it but pressure or something on the motor ??

Why I’m just waiting for the parts deferential is cooked on the front so had to do it
