Help me please! got a fairly simple problem

hi guys i have noticed that on my xmod when i drive it fast, itll go crazy when i turn it not liek crazy turning just real light to keep it on a straight track. now, if i put the remote on fast, and go as fast as possible it just starts spinning around going crazy. COMPLETELY crazy. could this be the tired? im doin this on wood floor and their the stock tires? i also took it outside and it is not as bad on the concrete but still spins aroudn alot when turning. i think it might be the tires but im really not sure. i had a skyline before that ran fine with stock tires but now that i got the white supra, its been actin up liek this since the start. i appreciate the support thanks

Hardwood floor, stock tires, yeah - that's not going to give you much traction. Try accelerating slowly, then going full-throttle after you're already moving. They're twitchy and uncentered by nature, so it's going to spin a little no matter what, but it'll at least go sort of straight.

The rear end of your car could be out of alignment. My left tire will come off the ground before the right one causing the inside wheel to lift around left handed turns and the car will spin. This is due to the rear back (black) plate being warped. I used aluminum foil spacers under the 3 position mounting point on the right side of the car to even it out. Lift the rear end of your car off the ground and which ever tire stays on the ground longest needs to have spacers(foil) put in the mounting points.

I would make sure the battery holders are on the last setting to place them close to the rear wheels. Also I would use the soft springs in the front and medium in the back. I run mine on a waxy tile floor and it work great.
