I have an electric GBX Intimidator. If the front end is pushing going into the corners what do I need to do. If the rear is wanting to slide out while I exit the corner under throttle what should I do. I am running threaded TC3 shocks.

Pushing in may be your problem on exit too. Think about it? You have your wheels turned all the way left going into the turn and then when the speed slows enough for the tires to bite they're turned all the way and the throttle is getting pulled again. Try fixing one problem at a time. How much spoiler are you running? What tires? What body? What springs on the front and rear?

It could be as simple as you're driving in to hard or overdriving the car as some guys call it. Be smooth with the throttle. Sometimes you have to slow down to go faster.

Just based on the initial information(not much) I would soften the front(take turns out of the shock collars) and put more rear toe in on the car. Softening the front will give you more high speed steering and more rear toe in will plant the car on power.

If that doesnt work send the car to me. I want a new GBX bad

if you look in the back of your instruction manual, there are some tips in there

Hey Jason, what springs do you have on the car? Are you still running no side dam?

I've got blue front buggy on front and rear now.

Hey Jason if you are using the 25 degree caster blocks that came with the car change to 20 degree caster blocks. This will make the front tires get alot better bite threw the turn.
