Arrma Kraton wobbling at high speeds. Any tips for stability during speed runs?

I’m running 6s now on a max 6 esc with a 8S Poseidon motor 1500KV. My Kraton rocks back and forth at 50 plus Mph on SRC Road Crushers. Anyone have any experience trouble shooting this problem or perhaps have suggestions on balancing the tires?

First - your right rear spring perch is trying to escape... :)

Have you tried lowering the ride height?

Adding the wing back could add some directional stability.

I am not a speed guy, so just guessing here.

Thanks Jerry-rigged. You make sense. I've also realized my tires need serious balancing. They are wobbling all over the place as well. I'll test them out, put that spring in check and consider putting that wing back on as a last resort. Thx again!
 
Hey brother, I had this issue today on my first speed run attempt, check the aluminum cups that secure the pillow balls in your front carriers, also make sure that you have got the steering trimmed up nice, if them pillow ball caps are lose it will do exactly what you are describing, they are bad for backing off
 
It's the tires. I had the same problem with them. At speed the truck starts a fish tail on the rear, right?
