I am noticing my Revo pulling to the left under hard acceleration. It stays straight if I'm at low to mid throttle. I checked the wheel nuts, hubs and wheel hubs...What else can cause this?
 
is the revo adjustable for toe?? one could be toed out more than he other
 
I forgot about that. It was good but something might have moved/stripped. Today was the first time it did that.
 
Check your bearings as well. One might be binding and causing "brakeing action" causing it to pull to one side.
 
I've found the rear toe is very easily knocked out if you get hit by another truck during a race. Beason may be on to something
 
Just had a chance to look at it and the rear toe looks bad....Good call Beason. I'll set it straight Tuesday, unless the hurricane comes this way.
 
ha good luck with that.. hope katrina doesn't whoop you.. let us know how it goes..

where at in louisiana you at?? I'm not far from louisiana..
 
Smaxxin, looks like you are in the direct path of the hurricane. I will keep you and your family in my familys prayers. I have been through a cat 5 and a few 3s and 4s and many smaller ones, so I know what they can do first hand. Take care of yourself and your family. Are you in the mandatory evacuation areas? I have been watching this storm very closely after last year when I was hit by three in 6 weeks, a cat4 and two 3s. Please let us know as soon as possible after the storm that you are ok. I wish you the best of luck with this one, take care buddy!
 
Also, when the hurricane is past, look for a sticky shock on the left side. I had a bent shock shaft on my t-maxx once on the right side and it would get stuck and not come all the way out. It made it pull pretty bad.
 
Thanks for the concerne guys and prayers are always welcome. I'm about 140 miles west of New Orleans. If it makes an easterly turn as predicted we should be ok, but it doesn't seem to be making that turn. If it stays straight I'll be heading to Arkansas, 175mph is a little to much for me. I spent most of my night at work getting things ready in case it does come this way. Tonight should be more of the same, and it looks like I might get an unexpected night off Monday. I'll let you guys know how it turns out.

Yep, that's why I'm heading to Arkansas...Everybody and there moma is going to Texas LOL. On a normal day it would take me 3-4 hours to get to Houston tomorrow it would if I left now the storm would be gone by the time I got there LOL. Well I'm off to work now, I'll talk to you guys Tuesday.
 
Well we didn't even get any rain from the hurricane and only about 20-30 mph winds. I don't think I'll be making any trips to New Orleans any time soon though.
 
yea new orleans got there ass handed to them!! i was watching it on tv. i work in an internet cafe in baytown.. just west of houston.. i had like 35 people in my little store all looking up info on the hurricane..even had one group using that google earth program and looking for there house.. the lady started crying talking bout "oohhh my house is still there ohh yours is to.. let me call (insert name) and tell them to check on theres.." it was hard but i had to break the news to them that google earth isnt real time.. that pic could be a month old, could be 5 years old.. then they looked again they were like "oh wait thats a pile of wood in the yard" THATS WHEN WE WERE BUILDING THE HOUSE 3 YEARS AGO!!!!" i felt bad for poping there bubble but i didnt want them to travel all the way back and there house be nothing but a slab.. you know??
