you probably have to recenter the servo , there is a tut on here somewhere for it.

I've searched everywhere and cant find it.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO RECENTER A GEN.1 SERVO?

first of, take of the front upper deck off. Then u unscrew the upper screw from the front shaft holder[yellow piece]. Then u unscrew the 2 long screws at the bottom of the chassis[the ones aproximatively from the middle of the chassis]. By doing all these, u took off all the electronic package.
Hope its not too confusing.

WOW. big improvement.
Last thing:

See when I go full throttle it spins out (I have AWD). When it turns to the left it spins out, but when I turn the right the turn is fine.

i had the same problem its something to do with the left from swing isnt engauging or its binding. Just take it out and put it back in and it should go away. basically your running 3 wheel drive and since one well isnt spinning its slowing it down alot on that side and causes it to spin.

Sorry, Take out the whole front end piece(towers, swing arms, knuckles etc.) basically everything from the EP to the front. btw gen 1's dont are less then half evo's turning radius.
