When Punching my Rustler I've noticed that it always pushes to the right. Like the left rear is hooking up more or spinning faster. I can't seem to get it straight. I know it has nothing to do with my front end do to it being in the air at the time..lol Anyone have ideas on what could be causing this?
Thanks for any help..

Sounds like torque steer.

i had the planitary gears in the diff go(half the teeth were chewed off) on my rustler vxl once. sometimes it would go straight, other times it would shoot off to one side as all the power went to just one tires.
its not a hard fix, and a diff rebuilt kit isnt expensive but it does take some time to tear down the tranny.

I was thinking it was in the tranny but wanted to ask before doing so.. It's not really bad but just seems one spins fast so would like to try and get them equal.

spin your back tyres and check for any wobbles or if the tyres arent running true i know my friends rustler wouldnt run straight due to one back tyre came unglued and was slipping alot

another thing i noticed on my vxl pede is if the wheelnuts are tighter on one side than the other if slows the spin alot so check how tight they both are, pick the rustler up give it some jiuce and watch how long the wheels spin for if there not equal or near loosen the nut on the wheel that stopped first.

Is there torque-steer on a rustler?
