What you have is called torque steer and can be caused by a couple of things. First follow the advice given by shaggy the axle needs to be centered perfectly even one mm to one side will produce this type of effect. Second you need to check your tweak, if you dont have a tweak station use the two pennys method. And third you need to have a properly setup diff, smooth but not too tight or loose. Here is a link to an excelent 1/12 setup resource.
