Things to check:
- Make sure main chassis is level and not higher toward the rear.
- If the rear pod droop is less than 1mm, try increasing it to 1 to 1.5 mm.
- Make sure diff/spur gear is tight; you should not be getting slip anywhere on the track, but make sure the differential action is free. Too much drag in the differential action can cause the problem you describe.
- It sounds like maybe the front tires are really digging in...43mm 2x pink fronts create a lot of bite. If you don't already you should try putting CA on your front tire sidewalls to limit front tire outside edge rollover in the corners. Also make sure the edges have a small radius on them, not a sharp corner.
- When you check camber, push out gently on the top of the tire to make sure you are getting an accurate reading. This takes out any play in the suspension. You may want to try 1 to 1 1/4 degrees of camber to smooth out the front end through the corner.
