Centro C4.1 pulling to the left under acceleration

[cornishboy176]

I am wondering if anybody can help me please,

Just got a Centro and everytime I put the power down it wants to shoot off to the left,I am running on grass,it might just be me but it just doesn't seem right

Thanks

Chassis tweek possibly. Is the chassis bent?

[NeilRalph77]

Is it one you've built or bought? You may have a slightly tight bearing on one side either diff outdrive or hub bearing this will cause drag or binding and allow the opposing wheel to spin up quicker. If its going left i would suggest a bearing on that side as the right wheel will be trying to pivot round it. I pressume you keep your car reasonable and it's not just a little twine wrapped up somewhere or bad tracking?

Best way to find out is to open it up and have a look. like Neil said could just be something simple that is causing drag.

I bought it second hand and so far fitted nearly all new parts on it got new outdrives coming as the one on the right is chewed up badly so it might even be that,we will see?

If it was mine I would rebuild the entire car checking that nothing is bent, has excessive play or wear and put the chassis on a flat surface to check it. I had a similar issue with a car and it turned out to be worn driveshaft.

Highly likely if it's just one side very worn. Binding up the suspension one side under acceleration could cause issue described. Get this sorted before going into too fine tuning.
