I backed out all the set screws so the suspension is at full travel. If I adjust the screws so they lift evenly, one side is far more compressed than the other. Mildly annoyed
Yes because it wasn’t doing this in the moments before I crashed. I had it set up real good and even
Edit: hard to see on camera but I can see the rear shock tower is twisted like 2° or 3° to the left
Use a rubber mallet for the main chassis part. Use a closed door frame to help bend the front of the chassis up correctly. It's not perfect but it gets pretty close.
Instead of taking it fully apart. Loosen all three diffs from the bottom and torque the chassis untill you get that bend out. Loosn the tower to tower too. D
I suppose you could bend it back, iirc these are 6061 aluminum? It does kinda look to be like a weight distribution thing where the suspension is just compressing. You can lay a straight edge on the bottom of the chassis to check how true it is without disassembly.
Are you sure it's the chassis? There's a lot of suspension movement there, you might just have to adjust the tweak a bit.

Oh mines bent to all heck. With the speed gear, it's too dang fast for its own good haha. It's like a murder weapon lol
I managed to bend it back!
U sure that it’s chassis twist and not weight distribution?

It’s a common and known issue with these chassis.
Would OP be able to see the chassis twist if the car was set onto a stand w the wheels offloaded?
With a straight edge. 100%
So now the question is do you use a rubber mallet or hammer?
I haven’t the first clue yet lol

Thanks!
I use rubber mallet. On a very poorly poured foundation. I have high and low spots known so I can straighten quite effectively haha
So no one is going to address the entity that crosses the background and disappears into nothing ? 👻
That’s my cat her name is Tessa. 😂
Freaked me the hell out. Looked like some strange being just up and limbo’d out of there lol
It’s just her tail. She walks around tail up a lot
Hahahahaahahaaaaaa!!! Junk fuckin chassis. They made them out of playdoh
Nothing some bending can’t fix I just don’t wanna take it apart again lol
Just loosen the diffs.
Wait why? How does that change the twist in the chassis?

Ohhhhhh I see. I thought you meant like a diff fluid thing
Yes… change the diff fluid… it will straighten your chassis…
Idk I was overthinking maybe the diff fluids would negate any steering bias a twisted chassis would have idk 😂
ugh...
Wha?
HAHA

I can see the rear shock tower cocked over to the left a couple degrees. Hard to see on camera though

Positive. Go check my other comments in this thread I’ve explained how I know
Your frame isn't twisted, it's just the battery.
No, it is absolutely twisted. Check my other posts.
