My Robitronics is the same way. I just replaced all of the gears in the front with new Robitronics ones and put 7000 1000 1000 to try and calm the front down a little. It didn't work. The truggy seems like it's FWD as well.

Axial is pretty much an HPI engine, by the way..
This truck is pretty much a HellFire in my opinion. Nice as a second truck for bashing and whatnot.

Try going up in weight in the center and rear diffs, also you may want to drop down to 5k in the front also. Thats a kind of funky setup where all the power is mostly getting pushed through the front wheels, and with the 7k in the front its going to push when you try to turn on power. The 7k may be fine in the front but running 1k in the center is more than likely whats causing it to handle like that.

Try 5 or 7/10/3 (F/C/R) or 5/7/3 if you want it to be easier to drive with less power going to the rear wheels.
