Default b44 poor handling

i have had my b44 for a few months. and run it with no problem, but recently have had a problem with it now wanting to spin the back end out. every time you come out of a corner and put the power on. i have stripped the car down twice. but can not find a problem, i have rebuilt both diffs with new parts. tried all different set ups and tyres. but these only mask the real problem.
has any one had this problem before? or know how to fix it? i am all out of idea's.........

hi, i am running yellow mini spikes, blue front springs and green rear springs. with rear anti roll bar (sliver)with 30 wt and 40 wt oil.
but i have tried a lot of different set ups. yellow mini pins, full spikes. silver and green springs on front, silver on the rear. and with out anti roll bar. and have adjusted camber and tracking. tried using loose and tight diffs. and played around with slipper. all these things make a difference. but only mask the really problem. just cant seem to get to the bottom of it?

Try this, it's Bradders set up. Go for the black rr anti roll bar and green springs on the rr as well.

How tight are your diffs, and how tight is your slipper? Does your slipper actually slip when you punch the throttle from a standing start?
Your diffs need to rotate, but not slip (thats the slippers job!). Front diff everso slightly tighter than the rear.

What kinda surface are you running on? What motor and gearing are you running?
What cells are you running? Are you using LiPo's without any additional lead weight in the rear?

It sounds like the slipper to me?

Im thinking either:

Uneven tyre wear,
Throttle jockey ,
Too much front weight bias,
Crazy-fast-motor-itus

Yeah, it could be any of those. I'm thinking slipper purely because my CAT 3k did the same until i'd set it correctly.

Might also be that our man has limited the front shock travel ?
Thus not allowing enough weight transfere to the rear of the buggy.

But, the slipper would be the first thing to check !

Tires, diff or slipper might be all 3.
