liftoff
 
Hey, got a little stearing prob, if any of you can help. I have a duratrax st pro, and when I'm under heavy acceleration, the front right (passenger side) tire rides about 1/4 off the road. I've put better shocks on, and nothing I seem to do makes much difference. I guess if it aint gonna do a wheelie, then I'd just rather keep the fronts down so I can turn!
Also, this tire seems to liftoff in the corners too.
Any help out there would be good.
thanks!

make sure there is no binding in your suspension and both shocks are equal length

stiffen rear springs

or add spacers. You could also change the shock oil with silicone oil and increase the weight

If there is anyway to push the electronics or batterys farther up on the chassis id give that a try.

Sounds like the chasis is flexing under the torque load from the hard acceleration.Look into stiffening the chassis.Actually this is not a terrible thing ,at least it shows that you have the engine and gearing dialed in.
