Senton Runs sideways

[Phamous]

Hi guys, my senton 3s runs sideways as soon as I pull the trigger. Everything is going well, except the fact that the vehicle is not 100 %straight. That means it goes forward, and drives a bit diagonally. Sounds weard I know.. I checked the diffs etc everything seems to be fine.

How is the steering trim?

That's the weird part. It doesn't matter how much I try to fix it. It always starts going sideways, when I pull the trigger to much. But that wasn't the case in the first place.

Check your rear suspension arms make sure the hinges aren’t cracked. If they aren’t take the shocks and wheels off and make sure the arms fall with no resistance or that will cause weird handling too.

You can also check all of your bearings, if there is one dragging bad enough that could do it.
If you spin each tire with the truck off of the ground do they feel smooth and even or does one stand out as different?

I thought of that first, and watched how they go, but I didn't noticed any problems. But I'll check it out again. Sometimes u don't see the first time.

Maybe too tight slipper clutch.
Comes loose at the SCTE track 2 weeks ago and had to rebuilt it. My son's Senton was always sideway (oversteer)

Could be possible, had problems before with it.

Bought a new one and assembled it as instructed. Maybe I should loose it a bit more

I have the same issue when I blast the throttle but goes fairly straight if I'm gental to full throttle...the torque of my brushless was stressing the stock servo so I put a 25kg in there...still pulls when I blast the throttle LOL

Me it always goes streight maybe you have a too thin diff oil specially the front who can cause uncontrolable steering at times. Check your servo might be bad

Yep. But if you run Granite tires full throttle in 3s on tarmac it will get loose faster...

Wrong if you use red threadlock mine was constently getting loose on my kraton 4s drove me nuts blue threadlock did nothing at all since i used red threadlock its a thing of the pass
