M05 wandering on straights

[Deanej10]

Now I have sorted my grip roll, but I am having sever problems with the car veering off on the straights.

I am running -

The kit bevel diff with anti wear grease

TRF shocks (front white/ red and reds on the back)

Toe in on the fronts and kit standard 1.5 degree uprights on the back.

Aluminium steering set and Savox servo.

What do people think is the main cause?, it seems only under power it does this but is very frustrating as with a Saturn 20 I can only go 60% throttle down straights on just a 3700mh NiMh! My guess is the sloppy steering but wondering if anyone has any suggestions.

PS running on carpet with 33 sweeps front and 25s on the rear.

You should be running with toe out on the front wheels. You should probably also run a harder spring on the front compared to the rear. If the diff action is too tight that can cause problems also.

You are welcome to ask my advice at the track if you want to.

Thanks, I will try that - I was under the impression toe-in was the way to go!

On the back it is, not the front.
