Tweak can also come from weight distribution on the chassis. With heavier electronics on the left rear (e.g. a brushless set-up), it can put differing pressures onto the tyres (this, IMO, is effectively tweak).

By adjusting the collars to equalise the effective "pressure" displayed, the tweak is elminated.

I've tended to find that when running B/l, I need to adjust the collars of the car to componsate a little for the extra weight on the Left rear, versus my brushed gear.
