If your car is not running straight try adding a tad of toe-in, which will help that. It sounds like you're new at this so just make sure you break in your engine all the way (at least 5 tanks) before really letting her rip...trust me my firend found out the hard way and stuck a piston. Sway bars would also improve handling and the type of tires you hav ein comparison to where you run your car (slicks on a very smooth street or parking lot, or treaded on a rougher street) Good luck and have fun with your car!

thanks for the reply. If i toe in the rear (I"m assuming the rear) will that help the car go straight full throttle from a dead stop?? And will it help the car brake or decelerate straighter ?? The car is broken in now. It's fast and I'm having a hard time figuring out .. I do not have anybody to teach me hands on..Thanks again!!

I have NTC3 RTR - upgrade with 2 speed. Love it. Eats up tires if your not careful, and listen to previous post about the break in. I see a lot of people blow engines by not breaking them in right.
