Default Noob with an NTC3

Just bought my first car...the NTC3.

I have the engine pretty well dialed in, starts easily. My problem now is that when I accelerate past half throttle, the car ends up sideways. It seems the back end is sliding to the right as the car accelerates. Ive downloaded the tech manual from AE and Ive found all the various adjustments. Just by reading the manual, it seems there are so many possibilities that might fix the problem. Just wondering if anyone has any tips to get this thing accelerating straight. It rolls good at slow speeds...

Thanks,
Mike

maybe the steering servo is weak or the steering assembly is weak
i here that a good solution is a high torque servo for the front.
i think it spins because of the amount of power produced from the engine and the servo isnt strong enough to handle

RC cars are alot like real cars, in if the have to suspension set to hard or to soft it will cause to car to act in way you would not think it should. My suggestion would be play with the suspension setting and see if that help with the oversteer problem.

You should check the folling: if there is any chance that on spring is set tighter than the other, if your stearing trim is set were it shouldn't be, if on wheel is bent or isn't on quite right or the if the axel has moved or the tires might just be to slippery.
