Some drifting issues, need help
 
ive had my tt01 for a few months now and put on some t-drift tires on a fresh set of wheels about a week or 2 ago. they sure took a lot of getting used to but im having some problems i think are more car related, than just the tires alone.

some info on the car:
tt-01 chassis
locked rear diff
stock front diff
t-drift tires
3300mah batteries
23t turn motor
adjustable camber front and rear a-arms

the issue:
when drifting i can hold a left turn drift, while counter-steering right, very very well. the car handles these great. but when right turn drifting, counter-steering to the left, the car wants to spin out 100% of the time no matter how slow i go. if the car is at a stand still and i lightly hit the gas it wants to spin out to the right. ive adjusted my steering servo and it is infact centered, i think its more of a drive-line issue.

any ideas? [sm=confused.gif]

how tight is the front diff? sounds like it's coming unlocked and spinning just 1 wheel

you mean the rear diff? i havent touched the front diff, so its completely stock. the rear diff is locked via the method of putting 1 of the 3 spider gears between the 2 so im pretty sure it has no chance of even coming unlocked or loose since those gears are all meshed together and locking one another.

sounds like a left to right weight bias issue to me. Is the battery on the left or right? Are you running Lipo or NiMh?

im running nimh and the battery sits on the passenger side, heres a pic of my tt01 chassis:

could it be a camber or caster issue? or maybe if 1 side of the cars suspension is softer than the others?

I'd say the check suspension and camber,
I doubt its a weight balance issue, otherwise more people would have this problem with their TT-01...

If that still doesnt fix it, id take the diffs apart, rebuild them and relube them
