E-Maxx pulls to one side when braking!?

[neavissa123]

hi there,

when i apply full brakes from top speed, the truck pulls hard right causing the truck to turn to hard and flip. does anyone know why that would be the case.
did a Google search but didn't find anything...

thanks

I'm guessing you bent something in the RF suspension and when you hit the brakes, it loads up differently from the LF and causes the truck to pull.

Make sure your hinge pins, shock shafts, and toe-links are straight. Take the shocks and tires off and check to see if the arms will fall under their own weight. If you have to push them down, something isn't right.

Check the location of the front toe-links; I've seen people reinstall Maxx ones incorrectly and it results in some insane bumpsteer.

Check to see if the shocks are filled with fluid and properly bled and that they are preloaded evenly.

I've also seen Maxxes with broken arms - when the truck is sitting static, they look fine but as soon as theres a load (IE braking), a lot of goofy stuff happens.
