could be a number of things from a bind in the drive train on one side or a track with more turns and the car rolling too much or diffing out.

Mostly in the center. drive train appears to be free and the car does roll some in the cornes i don't run any roll bars. if i run a roll bar then it pushes like crazy and i've got to break harder to make it turn.

what type of surface are you running on that you are having issues with the truck turning? also what oil do you have in your front diff?

Have you tried verifying that none of the arms are binding? That is soft,(which is fine) but how do you have your shocks setup? A lot of pitch? Or more vertical. That could play a factor as well.

Are you getting a lot of steering??
I have verified no binding recently. I may double check again though. Hole 2 on tower and middle on arm for shock position. Seems to have plenty of steering. (Maybe a little too much??)

it looks like it could be from the layout and the car unloading the front inside tire.

have you tried 575 in the diffs with the swaybars by any chance?

The 2 long sweepers at each end of the track look like whats causing it as was already said.

I doubt you will be able to do much about it without making huge diff changes that will affect the rest of the track. Thicker center may help but I doubt it will be that noticeable and it will certainly be noticeable in handling on other parts of the track.
The way that layout is its just going to eat inside front tires in 4x4

Anyone ever try fitting a JConcepts Scalpel body on the SCT410? I know it's made for more of a lowrider street truck conversion for the slash, but really like the lines it has and would like to run it off road

finished the build and noticed the front wheel gap is somewhat excessive ?

I have the preload at minimum and shocks are in stock locations ----- look normal? These are two Losi Bodies BTW

You will still need to run it a bit to break in the springs. Also you can lower the body mounts if not done so already.

Ok --- makes sense with the spring break in ---- how long does that take generally ? I have posts at lowest already BTW

Also, cant seem to get the shock ends into the LOWER outer hole on front arms?

Broke my first part on my truck since owning it. Snapped the rear inner hinge pin brace in half pitching the rear end into the wall outside our sweeper after the straight. Finished my evening...it was fun while it lasted though. Should have gotten the aluminum hinge pin braces right off the bat.
