Red is the heaviest spring Associated sells for their T4 and is a lot stiffer than the stock springs on the Torment.
Thankfully Associated T4 springs cost less than $5 on Tower Hobbies, so I installed a set of red’s on the front of our Torment. I would be racing the Torment on a high grip carpet track so I had to get the traction roll out of the chassis. Suspension: Out of the box the suspension on the ECX works well, but it likes to traction roll on high grip surfaces. I raised the rear body mount by one hole to help reduce this unwanted drag.
Also, the body on our Torment was too low to the chassis causing too much tire rub in the rear of the truck.

I started by cutting out both the drivers and passengers windows, then I used a body reamer to open up large holes in the hood and at the rear of the truck. There isn’t an aftermarket short course body on the market that costs less than $5, so that left me venting the stock body to help eliminate the parachute effect. Once in the air their body acts like a wing, and with only two wheel drive and limited power, hitting the gas or the brake doesn’t make a huge effect on the attitude of the truck. First I’d work on taking some of the parachute effect out of the body, then work on the suspension, and finally try to milk ever last drop of power out of it.īody: Two wheel drive short course trucks can be hard to jump. I formulated my game plan, to make several inexpensive yet effect changes that would help the Torment on the track.
