ts4n Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 My scout leans to the left under power how do I stop this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pistonhead Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I'd add a couple of preload clios to the left hand shocks, should even the lean without effecting the crawling ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nr73 Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I took the clips off the other three shocks and added two to the back left (black spring) shock. It hasn't cured it entirely but its negligible now. I also have shortened the travel on my shocks by adding fuel pipe to the damper rod so mine sits a bit lower, which also helps reduce the torque twist of which you speak.

stretch Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I did the fuel tube shock mod, cured mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan24 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 I have got just brought a scout for my son, he loves it, but I have one of them newbright Land Rover shells to put on it, but because of the weight of it, it always leans! I'm new to crawling... So wanted to know if there is some stiffer springs I could fit to stop this happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nr73 Posted November 22, 2014 Share Posted November 22, 2014 Add some preload collars (or even a couple of cable ties) above the spring to increase the preload, that will be sort of equivalent to stiffer springs. However the fact it leans doesn't really matter, it will always twist a little to the left because of the torque reaction on the solid axels.

alan24 Posted November 23, 2014 Share Posted November 23, 2014 Thanks... I read trough the previous comments again and done the fuel pipe thing I didn't notice that at first lol, it seems to have worked, next step is to put loads of lights on the shell I think ????
