Also, the slick on the driver's side shows more wear. Other than that, the car launches just fine, nice and straight. It stays straight in the burnout box too. Any ideas? Thanks!

What your seeing is normal, the driveshaft rotation trys to push the drivers side tire into the ground and at the same time trys to lift the passneger side tire up making it spin easier, as long as the car gies stright your golden Are your slicks directional, arrows showing which way the tires should rotate? If not rotate them from side to side about every ten to twenty runs You might want to consider doing shorter burn outs also Last edited by Cab_Burge; 01/06/13 04:14 PM.

BUT if its driving out STRAIGHT... leave it alone Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 01/06/13 07:19 PM.
