make sure your left rear tire is not touching the header when it swells under accelleration.

also make sure the l/r tire is not hitting the nerf bar

already had and fixed both of those problems. If I put enought lr in it to make it drive straight down the straight-away it pushes like a dumptruck. If I make go through the coner it doesnt have much forward bite and turns hard left at mid staight.
Thanks for replies

put enough LR in it to make it go straight, then take some toe out of the right rear so it will go through the turns.

Make sure your diff isn't too tight.

Only track I run on is a small indoor red dirt oval that can be very slick. I have to run my TLR very soft and the diff must be fairly loose. Dell is right on the money.

I know this will be a hard one to explain but how tight or loose do you run your diff?
Thanks

You are correct, it is very hard to describe in print. Do you have any mod electric 2wd buggy off road experience? This is about where I am at with my diffs. If you hold the left rear and spin the right on mine it will spin a good 3 turns or more. The most important thing, if you run a slipper like I do, is to make sure it slips before the diff does. To check this hold the right rear and the spur gear and turn the left rear forward. You should see the slipper nut turn, if it does not and the left rear will turn either the slipper is too tight or the diff too loose. Adjust as needed.
