Ok i've been searching here and on the cen forum and can't seem to find anyone that's addressed the issue i'm having with my new gst. I am on tank 4 so i'm just mosy'n around my circle and i'm noticing that the drivetrain doesn't seem smooth. When I accelerate the front end bounces around alot.. when I get up to a semi stedi speed it tends to smooth out but upon re-acceleration bounce bounce go's the front end.. I don't see any obvious issues in the drive train from just looking and manually actuating it with the motor off.. there is quite a bit of slack in the drivetrain but i'm guessing that's semi normal.. If I drive in a straight line at like say 1/8th throttle it looks like a buckin bronk..
any thoughts?

well i just ran a half tank and tried to get a vid but it's real hard to see the issue in the video. I did notice some shuttery sounds on acceleration and then the noise would go away at higher speed and the truck smoothed out.. I wonder if once I lean it out and get it tuned if the problem will go away.. whats wierd is when it's make'n the noise / bump the tires look like their going over washboard road..
i'll still try and get a video up of it
