is anybody getting alot of torque steer from their recoils? I find that on the throttle mine pulls quite a bit.
I am running 2s lipo, feigao 400 size 6200kv with mamba 1/10 sidewinder. geared with 17t pinion.

Mine never really goes straight. I've been messing with adjusting the front turnbuckles, but there is a lot of play with the way the wheels mount . What type of tire ya running?

I am definately having torque steer problems with the XLR8 motor - It doesn't like to turn right, and when turning left under throttle, if you let the remote steering wheel go straight while still under throttle the car wants to do a hard right? I don't believe I have a diff. problem. Any idea on set-up options? Would an aluminum drive shaft help?

Can't let this thread get too far down the line! So this may be a dumb question but will removing the driveshaft, front diff and dogbones remove enough weight to make a noticeable difference? I was running on a carpet track against a buddy with a comparable set up and they were pretty close. Just looking for an edge! I unfortunately got the pinion (16t) stuck on the motor shaft so until I figure out how to remove it that's not an option.
