Torque Transfer

[Blazer X]

Ok fellas this is new one. I put the lrp28 engine in and starting to tune and it's bending my turnbuckles. I'm running the lst shocks so my turnbuckles are in front instead of rear. The tires are twisting the front of the tire in towards the chassis so much under hard acceleration that it will flip the truck over rear end over the front, it's kinda impressive and annoying at the same time. I'm running big joes tires with 23mm hubs. My slipper clutch is very tight, I'm afraid to loosen it now because I think it will smoke the pad. Do my turnbuckles just need upgraded maybe? The metal shaft itself is not bending but the plastic ends where it attaches to ball ends. By the way this engine is the fastest stock engine I've ever drove and it's still rich...unbelieveable!!!

WTF doob? Just joking, get metal rod ends or whatever you call em. The plastic ends simply have too much slop.

Id say the big Joes might have something to do with it..they connect so good on every surface I had to stop runnin them ..now I run the bowtie/mulchers they break free and slide (drift)much nicer..pavement, hard pack ,loose ..I thought I wanted traction ..but I can control the trucks better with the slides..I cant even flip the truck with bowties on pavement ..turn as hard as I can ..just spins out..bigjoes ..wheelies /better top speed/and when they ballon on ruff stuff the truck just floats across it smooth ..the others are "low profile" and really ruff

Yea I know the big tires put extra strain on the drivetrain but I'm used to that kinda stuff with the vehicles I drive. The steel collars are working great. I'm more focused on the lean out issure right now...thanks for the help on both issues though.
