Default RE: Torque Steer, Diff Action...Mayhem veering under throttle

OK basically i think what is happening is there is to much weight transfer. The weight transfer is just to much If the wheel comes off while turning then the left front spring is to soft. Try putting preload spacers or the colars on so the spring is a bit more stiffer.

But if your not turning then the weight trasnfering is to the left rear which would allow the right front to come up. Again make the left rear spring stiifer by either the preload spacers or by putting the colar down on the shock shaft. Basically you need the weight to stop trasnfering to the left. You could try taking off the load from the right rear. Which would allow the rear to squat evenly and would do a wheelie instead of just bringing the right front up.

And yes if you have 4WD the wheel with the least amount of weight will get the most power. Thats how all 4wd vehicles work yes even our 1:1 scale unless you have possi (in 1:1) or you have a locked differential. If you have 4wd without the diff being locked then if you grab the one wheel and hit the gas that wheel will not move. That means that the power is being given to the other wheel.


Another words if you grab the left rear power will be transferred to the right rear and the left front. The power always goes diagonoly. Another words a 4wd without a diff lock isnt really 4wd it's more or less 2wd if you pick up the truck and hit the gas yes all 4 wheels will spin but grab the left rear and then hit the gas it wount give you any resistance and you can go ahead and grab the right front to along with the left rear and all the power will go to the opposite wheels and should not give you any resistance. That how 4wd works unless again you have the diff locked.


well i hope this helped in some way. shane
