You started throwing around the term "torque steer", if you don't know what it actually means...
...then I think we have the issue pretty much resolved. 
"OE" means "Original Equipment" manufacturers...or OEM...the folks that design and manufacture cars (big or small).

I perfectly know what torque steer means but your explanation is really poor, specially for someone who's not a native english speaker (never heard of he term OE before, tried to guess but didn't manage). What I said is that the pro3 suffered from a lack in strength from the outdrives and that caused a similar effect.

I attempted to do it by explaining what the OE's do do reduce it...which is exactly what some OE's (including HPI on the Pro 3 and Losi on the new car) do to reduce it. Use a long diff and short equal-length half-shafts.
If you were looking for an explanation of what causes it...you're looking in the wrong place. I was explaining what doesn't cause it...

I dont like the car how it looks now. It might be the prototype but it still could be the fully finished product. If it where to come out on shelves like that I would stay with the normal XXX-S. It just looks wierd. I just hope it looks better when the final product comes out. The car looks kind of cheap. No matter what you guys say. I just like the original XXX-S for write now.
Sorry for all the complanying.
Lets see how its going to look in about a month or so.

What are you worried about looks for. If everyone was worried about looks they wouldnt buy a xxxs. Yok ssg would be off of everyones shelves. You should want something that works.
