RC Driving Style
I was running my Savage for the first time today in a while. I was ripping it up in my backyard and it was sweet. After which I took it out in the street to get some high speed runs in. I noticed that when I get it up to high speeds (more than 50% throttle), the steering gets really shaky. When it hits almost full throttle, its almost uncontrollable; at one point I lost control and slammed into my girlfriends SUV. I've got the adjustable A arms on the front; I have it set up with so that the top of the tire is angled in more than the bottom, not sure whether that's positive or negative camber. I have also done the MP servo saver upgrade. Any ideas?
 
Is the steering tight? Not like hard to move, but lacking slop (like the stock servo saver is known for). The camber sounds good, but the problem is probably in the steering linkages.
 
My savage was like this, I found one of my tyres had gone really soft in one spot and was causing the truck to wander all over the place. Another tyre was torn and the foam was full of water.

Just fitted a new set of tyres, Team Orion's Meathooks. Great tyres.
