Well, got to run the car for the first time. I have very little onroad setup experience, so I did my best when checking stuff. I installed a 13.5 as I'm waiting for a motor to be shipped to me. When rolling on the throttle, the car went straight, when the throttle was pulled to full throttle, the car would pull to one side. The last time I drove a 1/12 was last winter and I don't recall the car pulling at all. Tried adjusting the diff, but didn't make a difference. Now that I think of it, i'll check the balance tomorrow at work.

Any help is appreciated.
Tires were cut to 1.670 in the rear.

As for pulling to one side, Make sure the clamp hub on the axle has the shorter boss facing the bearing and the longer boss in the wheel. If not, the axle is off center and the car will pull to one side. Hope this helps.
