ViperKid, before in your thread about your car flipping, you said you were using Microsizer wheels. When I had the small Microsizer wheels on the front it flipped everytime I turned. I put fullsize wheels in the front, and that helped. I also shimmed the inside of the front wheels to widen the front end about 1mm. I used bushings from a Micro Tech Deck. If you have one of these around, the bushings are the perfect size.

It'll still flip, but I have to let it wind all the way up, and then turn suddenly, and that would make even my single cell Bits flip.

Also when I stretched the smaller Microsizer tires over the larger wheels, it narrowed their track, probably reducing traction. Giving the front end let bite allows it to push through corners, instead of digging in and flipping.
