ok
1. make sure your exhaust wire is not binding against your steering

2. your diff oils may need to be changed, or losi may not have put the right oils in from factory, it has been done...7-10-2

3. make sure your wheel base is set right... should be 1 shim in front and behind the rear hub.

4. also make sure your bearings are good in the rear hub

5. how much droop you run?

check this, and get back to us...i garentee its one of these

Check the things that Reggie mentioned before you change anything. Also make sure your servo saver is not too loose. You should really rebuild the whole truck with new fluids in everything. The Chinese girls don't do the best job building truggies.

The adjustable pivots allow you to change toe, antisquat, antidive, etc... Very nice upgrade. I highly recommend them. I run them with all 0 inserts in the front, 1's up and 0's in the back.

put the links on the lower inside hole on the tower

and check the exhaust wire hanger...make sure its not binding...

and just because the truck is new doesnt mean it does not need a "once over" before you race it... check the servo saver and see if your geting the right steering throw
