One reason I opted for the Tamiya F201 was because it was 4WD. Isn't the Duratrax F1 version 2WD?

What exactly is your car doing when performing:
A) high speed on throttle turning
B) high speed off throttle turning
C) low speed on throttle turning
D) low speed off throttle turning
E) straight line acceleration

This information will help diagnose the problem in order to offer potential solutions.


Thanks,

On-Throttle refers to when the motor is supplying power to the wheels
Off-Throttle refers to when you are coasting (not applying throttle)
