RC Driving Style
I've just been out bashing my revo and have it set up so the throttle trim is nearly biting; this makes my brakes more progressive than sharp when applied.

However, when braking sharply to a stop my revo brakes in a straight line right up until the last moment when it turns sharply to the side.

Any ideas anyone? normal behaviour?

I'd say it's normal but then again, I run the RD Racing Quick Turn and have no front braking, can't recall how a normal setup brakes.
 
I notice it under hard braking. I think it's the rear end getting light and the diff action gets it sideways. Could also be a bad bearing, toe alignment, something dragging in the drive line (rock or stick).
 
i would have to agree with smaxxin that its just the rearend getting light and "jumping" to the side. i could be totally wrong though, i've never dealt with any other car than my RS4evo.
