when i try and accelerate from standing my car seems to want to veer to the left which isnt cool, when using it on a just about 2 lane road with kerbs either side once i have overcome the initial acceleration it seems relatively fine, although not 100% going in a straight line. The NTC3 seems to have a lot of adjustable parts so what do you think i could alter to help reduce this?

also it understeers a lot at high speeds which is getting to be annoying now. fix for this?

sorry if its too general but any idvice, ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Its a touring car styleeee car 4WD shaft driven for those that werent sure
 
What you’re experiencing is called torque steer. The torque from your engine is causing this. You can play around with tuning your clutch and diffs. It may help but won’t eliminate it completely. The only real answer is to not accelerate full throttle from a dead stop.

As far as under steering, the user manual has a chassis tuning guide in it. It explains the different settings and what they do.

Keep trying until you find what works for you.
 
You can also try to play with your suspension set up. A great guide that I used when I had an On road was the XXX-Main Touring car set up guide. This book gives you a lot of insight on how to tune your car.

Check it out.
