First of all let me say thank you so much everybody for your quick responses!
Sorry about the missing screws. I had chassis brace I printed that I took off to make sure it wasn't introducing tweak. The problem persist with the screws installed. This car is far from clapped out. It doesn't even have two packs through it yet and it hadn't been crashed until my latest test run, I traction rolled flinging it around trying to assess the handling on my hill. Oops! Before that it's only been on the track one time and it let me down and I parked it. I thought it was due to the shorty pack upsetting balance but it wasn't. This car is typical to me cheap car sloppy, but sloppy never really makes a whole lot of difference in my experience. I've spent hours and hours shimming things on other cars to perfection only to have them drive the same. You probably wouldn't believe my shim collection if I told you. The rear diff grease is extremely light, if I spend one wheel in the back they will counter rotate for almost 1 second. I would call it more lubed then greased up. I enjoy loose rear diffs that keep the cars from stepping out because they unload the inside tire. Interestingly after that roll which was not wimpy and I didn't have a body on it it now has zero degrees camber on the front right and the same 1.5 on the left front. I gave it a huge bunch of twists both ways and the chassis doesn't seem tweaked I think I bent the knuckle.
If it really needs a new chassis and new arms already I'm over it. The guys that are racing these crash like crazy, but I've never driven their cars and most of them don't have a ton of experience, they may not care/notice about different cornering left and right. When I'm watching The other guys it does seem like when they corner hard and get on the gas early it can get a little sideways or a lot sideways both ways. Even a Scandinavian flick will barely make it spin to the right.
