Hey everyone, I am fairly new to the hobby, and have a couple questions. I have an electric Stampede, and recently it seems I cant keep the thing on four wheels, I keep rolling over when turning. I've tried slowing down when entering turns, but it seems like I have to crawl into the corners. Any suspension tips I can get? Thanx

Softer springs will help the truck stay a little more planted. Also, lower the suspension. When looking at the truck from the front or back, the suspension arms should be level. I know the allure of a monster truck is ground clearance, but as the center of gravity goes up, so do the chances of a rollover... Keep in mind, these trucks are 1/10 scale, factor that in to all handling aspects of the truck. If your R/C Truck is coasting along at a slow 10 Mph, and you take a turn, that is the same as a full size monster truck trying to take a turn at 100 Mph. Imagine that carnage...
