Usually, tire rub occurs on the rear wheels. Since you're not complaining of that, my guess is that you have the older rear hubs which were 0 degrees. Use the hubs from a M05 which are 2 degrees or there was a option part with more toe in. This will go a long ways to solving your rear spin out problems. But you may find the rear tires will start to rub.
Thanks for the tip. I'll check the body mounting tomorrow. I know mine is more severe than my fiancee's, (and hers has trimmed body posts) so I think that might be it.
Rear tires did rub on hers until I trimmed the body more (we actually widened the fenders quite a bit so we could put some RC18T tires on it, but those on the rear were a huge mistake) so I think her used chassis has the M05 rear hubs. I've got a spare parts chassis that has the M05 rear setup (fully decked out chassis, anti-roll and everything) so I may steal those off it. Would that increase the chance of traction rolling though? I'd rather have a slightly sloppy rear end than a car that's flipping everywhere (for her at least)
