JC, if it is the regular cooper or the L then it could the body dragging lightly on the inside rear tire. It could also be the diff being loaded too tightly. It will show up as a chatter on power. The diff cannot act independantly and acts as a spool.

REAR SLIDING OUT
Are you using the rear toe in Uprights? Tamiya PNo 53345 Fit MO3 and TL-01. These come standard in the MO3-M. These will cause alittle bit of drag but settle the rear of the car down.

REAR TOE IN UPRIGHTS 53345
HotrodHopkins,
These uprights make the rear end of the car more stable, however they also create abit of drag. I am using these presently on my car and they are very good for low traction tracks. Most people here in Oz use them.
Cheers
