I agree- may need to back off the diff just a tad.
I would also try removing the center shock spring. Let the rear pod soak up some of the motor since there isn't a softer t-bar out yet. Also may have to raise the rear ride height just a tad if the center of the chassis is scraping the carpet on acceleration- pod sag on throttle.
If all else fails then order up some softer rear tires!

Did you try backing off the Tweak screws? Back them way out and let the pod free float. Make sure you have very low spring tension on the damper plate and no grease/fluid. If it starts to push, increase tension on damper plate and ad damper fluid/grease.

The angle of the tie-rods (down low in center/high at steering arm) eliminated the bump steer.

Can you tell me what is the wheel width (front and rear)?
Do you race with 4wd micros like xray and hpi or you have separate class only for scalpels?

even if the diff slips a little on takeoff, it still does it. i will try the suggestions to let the pod free float. thanks.
