RE: tc3 question
there is several things that could be causing this.
I would start by checking all the parts to make sure nothing is binding, make sure everything spins free.
CHeck your droop settings, this can make a car act crazy under throttle.
Check the shocks as if one or more is low it can cause this.
Finally, the differentials are very prone to cause this kind of pproblem as well. Im sure if the car is old they should be rebuilt anyways.

RE: tc3 question
i had an attack, the car was set up for carpet/foam tire and i was trying to run it on carpet with rubber tires. the chassis had a built in tweek, andan old buddy set me right, as i've never done the rubber tire thing before it was a learning curve. theres a new indoor carpet track in indy at the marion county fairgrounds and what a place! i don't have the website here but they dorun ruuber tireson theroad course and mostly foam on the oval.

RE: tc3 question
i got the car sorted out finally and with a stock motor competing with brushless motors i'm holding my own, the rubber tires equal things out a bit. after getting the chassis working i remember why this tc3 is awesome it goes into a corner better than anything else, at least at our track
