If a maxx was higher in the rear then in the front would it make for better stearing.
I saw one that way and the guy said that it makes for better stearing is this true.
 
I can't see it making much difference when your on the throttle. I guess it depends on what you do to make the front lower. When you hit the gas, the front end raises regardless if it's low or high. If it was higher than the rear, I could see it being worse...
 
I think they actually flip easier in the turns when you do that....I know if the shocks aren't set up right as far as the spring rate and rebound goes no height adjustment will help.....I set all mine up like a racing set up...low and flat w/ 40 to 60 wt oils and medium springs.....I don't really flip in the turns anymore like that...
 
If anything it would make it easier to wheelie. if you want more weight on the front for handleing, just make your brake bias more in the front.
 
T-maxxes only have 1 brake......kinda sucks cause they tend to pull to the sides alot....use a robinsons brake kit and it helps alot
 
If you want to make it turn better, go for a better steering servo, better tires, pro-line steering kit. Then play around with shock oils and springs to get the weight to transfer better when your on power.
 
truth in them thar words there be......ARRRGGhhh

VB: my friend is looking to trade a maxx for a buggy...it's got some hop-ups like the RPM arms/towers.....some other stuff I can't think of right now.....I'll ask t-morrow if you're willing to trade for a maxx....
 
I can second the easier to wheelie with front lower than rear... It must be that as you accelerate, the front 'springs' up and voila. Kinda like on a motorbike, knocking the throttle off then back on to load and unload the front forks rapidly to help wheelie.

Olds97_lss is right (as usual!), a better steering servo means more accurate, predictable steering. There's no excuse for practise and familiarity with how your truck handles to make it steer better. :2cents:
