Correcting Bad Handling Issues
While racing last year I was told that my car was pushing in the corners, I understand what it is but how do I correct it?

Think of traction as having $1.00 to spend
50 cents in the front and 50 cents in the rear would give you a balanced car
Some guys (mainly the fast ones) spend 60 cents up front and 40 in the rear
It sounds as though something has changed on your car (damage or service)
What is more important is how did you like the way it was handling. You said someone else told you it was pushing.
A lot of adjustments can give you more front traction, but it will be taking away from somewhere else to do it.
Was it pushing coming out of the corner, on power?
Off power, pushing going into the turn ?

I thought it might be due to a "chunk" tyre or maybe a dried up differential. I experienced a similar issue before, what happen was the silicon oil thins down after many hours of run and the car felt abit "lose" when i enter some high speed sweeper. Try draining your old oil and top it up with new oil of the same weightage; remember to replace with a new gasket after that.
Cheers!

There are a few things you'r forgetting to mention is it a 1/8 or 1/10 scale if its a sedan are you using a spool up front or diff. A spool on a sedan tends to push off power you would either have to brake more too tighten your line mid corner or start with a wider line and stay on power. But you must first go over the car. Make sure its not tweaked. Also check for body draggin.
