XRC road car spinning out!!
Running stock tyres, rear wheels have toe in and front have toe out. Car runs sweet in a straight line but when trying to do turns as soon as you come off on the throttle it spins out of control. When taking off from a stand still you have to take it easy on the throttle otherwise it will spin out....anyone have any suggestions as to what the problem is, maybe I need descent tyres!
I am new to on-road 1/5th scale but have never had this problem with my on-road.

Tires are a good start. The tires on them cars are no good for onroad bashing. The rear diff is weak also.
Put a good set of fg tires on it or pmt and then stiffen up the diff. Takes a little time and $ but it will hook up.
Keep in mind the outside tempature plays a big role in traction also.
Good Luck !

Softer rear suspension, stiffer front anti roll bar, softer rear anti roll bar, more rear droop. These are the key settings, apart from the quite correctly stated above warm soft rubber (always first concern, 50% of a car setup is in the tires) that will increase off power corner entry traction. You may also want to slightly increase or decrease rear camber, depending what it's at right now.
