I don't deny that swaybars don't have their purpose, they are quite useful.
I do think that wheel lift should be reduced as much as possible before adding one in an attempt to fix it.
But sometimes...

I'm running about 18mm ride height and don't really have the issue.
I don't think the wider wheels would cause the issue.

Finally got to get mine out yesterday, handles a bit strange with the worn front diff cups every now and then but still good fun.

Check sag, droop and up travel that they're even side to side.
Roll centre too soft?
Chassis flex and tweak?
Damper setup?

Few things could cause it I suppose, but I think adding a roll bar is...

I've had the same thought myself, about taller sidewall tyres.

It would be nice to have them, would set the look a bit better instead of low profile rubber bands, haha.

I run a 13.5T and only a light coating of grease (the supplied one from memory), no gains to be had by having them bathe in it.

Ah, that's no good.
Have a look at the motor plate and see if it's bent, that'll do it too.

Yep, these things are more fun with a bit more punch than top speed.

I'm finding the XV still lacks in the tuning/setup area, it doesn't have much room for change.
Both front and rear only have roll centre on the bulkhead, can't change link length.

I'll change the oils soon enough.

Yeah, I'm quite happy with how the shocks fit and all.
They also allow the chassis to bottom out first too.

So I did end up getting the GF-01 Alloy shocks (54670), and they fit just fine with the long damper towers.

An annoying one for sure.
I just pulled mine down to check over and redo the diffs, all looks pretty good so far.

The front uni setup just can't handle any real power it seems.

Front drive cup on the wheel side.
Looks to have worn out, got too thin then broke.
I've broken them on other RC's or worn them out but nothing like this.
