Did you check your suspension arm shafts like Max mentioned ? If one side is bent, car will spin out easy. Also, check your axles. Bent axle = easy spin. Especially if you are runing the Tamiya aluminum axles. When they bend, your car will spin out with a silver can in it.

what happen if the chasis is tweaked? can it be repaired? or bent? or twisted? to original shape?

ive ran a 415ms .. had the same problem .. found that the axcel lft rear was binding due to the wheel nut being too tight . and also found the out out drive bearings locking up . due to just me being too lazy to clean and lube them ..

you can take the tires off the car .. loosen up all the top deck screws and make sure the chassis is sitting flat on your pit board then tighten the screws down while having a race bud push down on the shock towers as you tighten them up ...

Hi it was the first day of racing today, car was still spinning so I swapped it to my other trf415 which was running fine in stock. left everything pretty much the same, and just changed the motors over and guess what the bloody car does the same thing spins on right hand corners. So is it the car trf415? car can't handly the torque. I am at a big loss no matter which trf415 I put the novak 4.5 in it will spin on right hand corners. Does anyone else have the answer to this?

check front toe and steering throw.
make sure they are the same left and right.
i usually put 1deg positive front toe. also check your servo turning rate is same left and right.
is it just a particular right corner or is it all right corners?
tried a slower motor yet? are you breaking well before a corner and just before turning?
if cant solve spining problem.. just ask hobby shop or ppl at the track, its easier to diagnose the problem there rather than over the net.
all da best

Edit: if too much steering throw, reduce it... and if its too little steering, perhaps increase front droop.

Might have to much steering throw as said

My cyclone will do the same thing if I have to much throw (dual rate)

It is all right hand corners it is if the motor has to much torque and spins when coming out of a right hand corner. Both cars run with different controllers so I had two controls that I have tried and two trf415 cars and yet it does tha=e same thing in both cars can't a trf415 standard handle it?

hey are you by chance running LIPO"s .. if you are make sure you re balance your cars .. Lipos are very light weight . . and can cause un even balace left to right .. causing spin outs ... just a thought ..

im pretty sure the car can handle it. if the car can't handle it, then why is the car turning alright on the left? does the car do the same size diameter of figure eight on the track?

What I can't understand when I changed the two cars around, (the car that was mod was now running in stock ) it was fine all day didn't spin once so why would it do it in mod and not stock?

Also I am only running 4200 intellects.

thats definately the settings then.
settings just sufficient for stock motor cannot be used efficiently on a mod motor, thats true. i change my car settings even when racing stock motor and 19t motor.

btw, is it spining just before the corner, or just after you throtter in mid corner/exiting corner?
