It might be necessary to loosen the screws that hold the center pod pivot and re-adjust the linkage alignment. That step is not explained very well in the manual. It is best to do this with the pod plates removed so you are just dealing with the lower graphite plate. When you rock the plate side to side the action should be smooth and free, you shouldn't feel any binding or popping.
Reassemble the car re-check your tweek and see if this has helped.
What method are you using to set tweek?
Thanks for the reply, i was supposed to post pix last night but got in from work late

I've done the endpoints, i've run the circles on the floor, i've checked rear pod links for movement and just in case length and damage, i've checked side springs for damage (just in case one is longer than the other), i've also checked that my motor wires aren't binding (too short or too long) so that the pod isn't binding up. I took the shock off and checked for free movement all around.

I will definately try this, i've heard rumors that there is a centered pod for brushless floating around as well.
I'll have to double check the front springs.
I have also promised another poster that i'd take photos. I'll do that this evening by hook or by crook and post them

Thanks again all for the quick replies and the info!!
