Default First carnage with the Genesis LE...

Well, I was running my Geni at my Dad's house to show off in front of my nephews and hit a pole mid-air. I haven't disassembled the truck yet to see what my shopping list (quick visual inspection says a-arm, bulkhead) will be but I have a question about torque steering. What happened was I built a ramp out of snow. The ramp was between a tree and a pole. I had at least 7' clearance on either side of the jump and thought that was enough room. Well I'd get the truck moving about 1/2 throttle and just before I'd hit the ramp (still on the concrete driveway) I'd go full throttle. Well when I did this the truck pulled hard to the right and I hit the pole. I was more happy I damaged the truck and didn't take the pole out . LOL. Well, what can I do to resolve this? I read a post from ThermalRD about putting different weight oils in the differentials. Do this help torque steer? ThermalRD, if you read this what weight oils are you running and in what differentials?

I'm surprised I hadn't broken anything sooner as I am a really bad driver. This is a true testament to how tough this truck is!!

Thanks,

Joe
