Yes, I've checked for tweak. Both tires on the front and rear lift together. I used the "opposite corner" technique. If the left rear lifted first I adjusted the right front, etc.

All I have is an Integy setup station. It doesn't have anything specifically for tweak. I am checking tweak on a hard flat surface. So I know my toe/camber/castor is adjusted correctly.

My 710 is doing exactly what your impact did. Spinning out under power and 180's when braking. I can't believe that I'm that far off with the setup.
