I'm running a 13.5 brushless venom system and a team orion 4800 mah lipo battery. The guy I had check out my system didn't tear into the the vehicle but he was holding it in his hand giving the drive train a thorough look while playing with the throttle. Then he went outside to drive it. Another local driver came out and drove it around on a fresh paved surface too. He mentioned torque steer but said what is going on isn't torque steer. They both think its somewhere in the steering rack. Tomorrow is race day and I may get some more hands on input. I just wish I had today off so I could tear the front end apart and check out all the components one by one.
