FID Racing - Dragonhammer Voltz V2

[Robinhants]

Hi all,

I wanted to post on here to see if anyone has any ideas on why my V2 Voltz pulls heavily left under acceleration... it is driving me crazy as I have checked the front diff which all seems fine!

Any ideas would be tremendously appreciated.

Does it do it when its cold? Possible you need to increase diff fluid weight.

dude, they all do it, petrol powered or the voltz,
less so on petrol lower powered engines though,
my v1 dragon hammer has an obr twin in it and does exactly the same thing,
its cos its a live/solid rear axle, under acceleration you get twist in the car so it lifts the front left wheel under acceleration , the front rights still driving so turns the car left,
all you need to do is adjust yer driving style, under heavy throttle just turn right slightly at the same time, then as speed increases twist decreases a bit and let off the steering,
drove me nuts at first till i worked out what was happening, now i just see it as a challange on the driving ,
adding steering input under hard acceleration takes a little getting used to, but it don't take long
i'm trying to dial it out of mine at the moment with setup and slightly stiffer roll bars,

edit; theres nothing wrong at all with yer car mate, its just a characteristic of the dragon hammer and the solid axle ,

The wraith is terrible just on 3s. 6s it would probably flop over.

One of the things that made me want the yeti xl then later on became annoyed of it doing even after better shocks and sway bars it still would do that

Need to remember they arw rock crawlers, so not really meant to be bash rigs. It's not an issue when crawling with them.

Hi Robinhants,

Sorry for late reply. I am Rhett, representative of FID Racing. I consulted our designer. You might need to check the absorber oil, see whether it is enough or leak, and second, change to thick rear balance bar, and third, intrinsic axle effect. we can mitigate but can't eliminate it.
