i don't care about traction...i like to spin the tires and slide all over the place (the sterring on my volcano sucks anyway) the front tires barely move left to right when i try to steer it. if i lift the front tires off the ground, the steering works great and both tires turn left to right to full lock. with the front tires on the ground, they barely turn left to right. it's been that way since new, and i have tried everything to correct the problem. the servo saver isn't broken. it just seems like the big tires bind on the ground when i try to turn or something. i have upgraded futaba servos in it and nothing is binding in the steering linkage.
anyway, if it will run and go just as fast with only 2 wheel drive, then i am going to make it 2 wheel drive. i normally just run it on the street and in the grass on occasion anyway so traction isn't really a concern for me. if it spins the tires, all the better.
i'm almost at the point to where i want to give up the nitro and go back to electric.
i have so much more fun with my electric duratraxx, less maintance, better steering, and it's just as fast or faster than my volcano.
