Most cars will do that and it has to do something with the driveshafts and how they bend at the joints. Simplest solution would be to lower your EPA percentange on your radio left and right. But that could cause you to lose some steering on certain tracks. All and all I don't feel its really anything to worry about. The CVAs work well and are better than straight dogbones in this matter.
Heres some videos on some solutions.
Xray's "billion" dollar solution lol (ECS drive shafts)...:

Has Team Associated a solution?

One of the team racers used the Hotbodies DCJS...as seen by the quote below.
I think these are the parts: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ve-Shaft-Set-1.
I dont know how he got them to fit...
I dont know if theres any clear advantage to these than the stock shafts, does anyone know if these are worth the investment and if they are a direct fit on the TC6?

The hotbodies dcj fit without modification in the 6.1. Same With the BD5 Spec-R dcj.
Both require the use of Tamiya, Yokomo, or Hotbodies hexes. 5mm will get you stock hex spacing.
If you're running the 3-3.5mm front arm spacing you will need to put a 1mm shim under the spool cup with the Hotbodies dcj.
AE blades can be drilled to fit the HB dcj or you can use the HB blade. The AE blades can be used as is with the Spec-R dcj.
I have used both, the HB joints are the stronger of the two, but a set of Spec-Rs are not much more than 1 HB dcj and are easier to rebuild. I have run the Spec-Rs on carpet with a boosted 5.5 without issue.
