Default RE: torque twist

yeah i gotta admit, it does lift off the ground but its not due to the amazing power of the motor ... truck weighs too much compared to the motor plus its twisting the same way as the motor's rotation!makes no sense at all... in fact its due to an uneven torque distribution on the front diffs causing a steering effect , tipping my truck over because its effectively accelerating to the side

but-- i am about to put a new front diff in, i'll see if this phenomenon occurs, if it does it will make my truck lift the RIGHT side, not an impossibility and i shall be on the lookout for it (gonna try on low/high grip surfaces, different shock configurations, etc etc) , if my truck was filled with carbon fiber or graphite surely it will be easier to spot

sorry for the confusion , i shoulda looked more closely at my truck before i posted! [:-]
