Mirroring the transmission

[steven81]

I read a article of mirroring the transmission to stop torque twist basically turning the transmission around motor and all I'm thinking about trying it out anyone have any thoughts on this

Go for it. It made a big difference on my AX10. You could also add more preload clips to the right rear spring, or a heavier spring.

Well I did it and torque twist is almost all the way gone put in a shock spacer and its gone totally

Not that I doubt it works, but how does simply turning the tranny around help? I'm going to try it when I get a chance!

When you mirror the transmission, the weight of the motor helps counteract the torque twist.

When you mirror the transmission, the weight of the motor helps counteract the torque twist.

So for the sake of playing devil's advocate... why doesn't the weight of the motor help with torque twist in the stock position?

 

[rob5059]

When you go forward the torque of the drivetrain twists the chassis to the right, the same side the weight of the motor is on. By putting the weight on the opposite site, it help prevent some of the twist. Other ways to prevent torque twist is on the right rear shock; install a heavier spring, add more preload on the spring, add heavier weight oil, or convert the rear to a 4link and raise the height of the upper links on the rear axle.

i was skeptical, but hey this does actually help with the TT significantly.
