Well just to make sure everything was ok, I took it for a quick rip down the street, and once you hit 3rd gear its all over the place drifting, it dosent seem to do it on the dirt but is something wrong with it or is it just there nature? The front end looks pretty aligned and its not toed in or way out, Im not sure whats going on?

have u ever put slime in your tires? if so that couls be it. my cousin put slime in his tires and its doesnt go outa control on dirt/grass, only asphalt. the slime throws it off balance or somthing.

got no reasoning or explanation for you but it happens on our sand rail, tracks fine in the dirt but put that thing on the street and the front end wants to go all over the place.

the tires are made for dirt, not pavement. the compound, along with the tread design are what is doing this.

on our 250ex's down in mexico though, we can run full speed on the street and they track nice and true down the road (top speeds only about high 40's low 50's I think though.)
