Hi there!
I've had a Mojave EXB for approx 3 months but I've recently has an issue with it veering off under "heavy" acceleration (most noticeable on grass).
The vehicle is for the most part stock, albeit I've changed the suspension geometry a bit, LSD centre diff to a 46t gear differential (wanted more gearing adjustment without a new mount), 60wt shock oil all around, and a slight preload adjustment. Also installed a RW Centre Diff mount and am running 150k centre diff oil.
Electronics wise I'm using a HW Max6 1650kv system w/ 2x 3s packs and a PowerHD WH-30KG servo (@7.4v) and an Absima CR6P (rebranded flysky gt5). Out the box with this electronics setup it was perfect, but now it's just a handful.
I initially thought the culprit was geometry, I don't have any pictures right now and it looks all good. I really want to get some pics up asap.
Earlier I changed the centre diff to the LSD, touched up the geometry (I messed up by applying positive camber on the rear accidentally, learnt not to use carpet as a test platform ;D) and examined the vehicle for any damage. Unfortunately the issue still persists where it veers off and fishtails hitting angles of approx 20-40 degrees, eventually spinning out if I don't correct the steering manually. All whilst occasionally lifting up onto 2 wheels...
I've not checked the front of rear diffs yet, however they don't scream damaged to me, but I really need to crack em open but ngl I've been putting it off lol. When the vehicle is powered on, I spun it up to 100% and all the wheels stopped at the same time and sound healthy when physically testing them, so idk tbf. Also no sign of damage to the tires, they're still all glued on well after about 10 packs.
In no particular order, my guess is (until I get some pics and vids up) are rear diff, correcting the rear positive camber mistake I made or the shock oil change I did. Or the servo saver... Or front slop... However if there is something I've not mentioned that you think is worth checking, please let me know, it'll be greatly appreciated as I'm still scratching my head over this.
Cheers
p.s if anyone could provide the stock turnbuckle lengths measured with a caliper that'd be awesome and greatly appreciated!
