Carpet is not my strongest surface, but some of your questions I may have a little feedback on. Usually, cars that pull one way or the other out of corners have a couple of things going on. You might try playing with the amount of toe out. Usually you need to add some. Usually the symptoms you describe are brought on by too stiff a front end and/or tweak. Try setting your ride height than adjusting for tweak. All Minis are tweaked, some worse than others. And yes, whack something hard and you might have to recheck it.

I'm pressed for time right now, but will post the procedure on tweak later, if anyone wants it.
Yes please do
My mini also pulls to one side on the throttle using mwb. Also, what could be some reasons that some minis are faster than me on the straight when we're all using the same motor & esc combo?
Thanks
