Default MGT 3.0 wheels turning themselves during throttle

I've got a problem that developed with my MGT today that I'm totally confused about. I noticed some funny steering issues while driving today. As I was giving it gas, it wanted to turn to the left. It started causing me to have accidents and flips. I took the top off the truck and held the truck handle and gave the truck gas to see what it was doing. As soon as I give the truck gas, the steering starts jumping around and ends up turning the tires to the left. I looked at the servo and it seemed to be responding the same way. I tried several test with the truck as I held it and gave it gas. I first turned my steering all the way to the right, gave it gas, and watched the tires turn immediately to the left as always. Not until I let off the gas some and slowed the tires down would the steering turn back to the right. I have a Spektrum receiver/transmitter combo and a 6v hump pack. I checked the batteries and they were fine. I rebinded the radio to the receiver and that didn't fix it. I'm totally confused. Would something be wrong in the dif. that might make it turn this way? As I was holding the truck up, I did noticed another thing. It seemed like at times when I gave it gas, the engine was bogged down and would eventually turn the tires. Could this be my slipper clutch or something? I'm totally confused on this one. Please advise!
