Using the same tires before or after. Before, the truck would start walking on the dif until it snap rolled. It would do this in a straight line.
After, I now have to force the truck to do what it'd do by itself more violently.
Swap out the pulley. If I'm wrong, tell me. But what you're describing is identical to what I was experiencing.

I have seen some guys using stock tires in front to reduce the oversteering

Between me and my buddy, we are about 40 packs in, with 2 full race days... we are both horrible drivers and spend as much time on our lid as we do on our wheels, and so far, the only things that have gone wrong were those shock screws backing out (i locktited mine, but put the oil in right away, so the locktite didn't set...) and he lost 2 wheel nuts (we'll both be getting knurled nuts before the next race.)
Jumping 10 feet in the air and landing upside down.....cartwheeling through the rythem section.... for the lighter of the trucks, it still feels built like a tank...
Really sounds like 95% of the problems are related to the prebuilt stuff not being built right....but the kit itself is totally top shelf!

Found an interesting failure point in the front arms. Went to mount my front sway-bar, and the arm was bent, not broken where the mount holes for the sway-bars are.
You can see the crush in the bolt hole here

and it bent at the tip of the scribe here

I am used to breaking arms, hopefully replacing it and installing the sway bar will prevent it in the future.

I was so far ahead of the pack I decided to attempt quading the rythm section which led to 10+ lawn darts and no broken parts. Made it a couple times though haha

This truck lives up to what I would expect from AE. I feel fine adjustments when I make changes, It handles great and is VERY durable. Much more than I would have ever expected. I race every weekend and just started racing in the 4WD SCT class. I have been able to put this truck in the top 3 with several TQs since the first day it hit the track. I can not wait until we have a year or so under our belt with this platform and some upgraded Factory team shocks and addtional parts to take this platform to the next level!
