I have a streetforce GP, my first onroad nitro. Seems to spin out extremely easy. I have a new Hi-Tech Radio with adjustable rate, and its turned down as far as possible. Also used foams and touring tires, still spins almost every time I try to turn. Any ideas? Also, is it possible to adjust power balance between front and rear wheels? Seems almost all power is going to rear?
 
Might I suggest some of the best reading EVER for On-Road touring cars. The XXX-Main tuning guide. Its retail is about 20 bucks but worth its weight in gold! Your symptoms are corrected by the exact response of the car. Understeer, Oversteer, on-power, off-power, rear slide, front slide, etc etc etc....

Knowing precisely what your car is doing will allow you to make the appropriate adjustments. This book even has PICTURES! For me thats a good thing.

Also, one of the last posts the 'On-Road forum' has a link to some extremely good online reading of similar content.

Check it out!

I use to have that car, try softer tires, like 37sh for foam. I also dislike the spring and shock setup that came with the car. But if you need, then purchase the XXX main tunning book, that book is good if you need help with tunning...
