Since I installed the 3 racing gear diff, the car wanders a bit on the straight. I wonder why that is. I can sorta control it... But it requires some real attention.

I really need to figure out how to do sidewall gluing properly.
Wandering on the straight is a potential side effect of having a tighter diff. It can usually be countered by using a bit more toe out.
