1. Make sure your steering servo is turning the wheels to full lock but not so far it buzzes the servo. Set it with the tires off the vehicle and the vehicle off the ground. Set the EPA to full lock then back off a click or 2 until the servo stops buzzing but you know your at full lock.
2. Could be your tire choice. Some tires don't have alot of side bite. Choose a tire with more side bite.
That should get you started. If it is a horrible push from the box stock setup its probably your endpoints.
The servo is a Hitec 7955TG with fully adjusted end points.
You could be right about the tires, I need new ones.

Fluid is at 2k and diff just recently maintained.
The Ackerman is the piece that looks like a bow right? I have to long one there now.
Is this right?

I can try that, thats three steps. What is "shorter rear camber" Camber is an angle to me so do I need more or less angle on the rear tires?
Lighter sway bar and less toe in I can do. I will let you know...

Hello Sein, are you sure droop has ANYTHING to do with this?
Isn't droop the setting of the screws that stop against the chassis?
They don't even come into play here.

Once you have done this then go on to set up for more steering, but im sure once you get a tire selection for that type of track and servo saver/good servos it will be fine.
The servo are fine and so are the saver. i checked them now and I have the saver pretty tight.
As a matter of fact, the turn is so close to the driver stand and it's going REALLY slow there. Almost like slow motion so I can clearly see the tires turn and skid. It's just like you want to lean over the fence and grab the car and push it in the right direction every time... in slow motion.

Thank you!
