For more battery life & maybe to balance out the speed a bit between all cars when racing the gt24 keep the radio set to a lower setting, either 1 or 2 & up the pinion 3 teeth for a bit more throttle control & less aggressive acceleration to not spin out as easily. Maybe try a bit of a touring car style track as well with the gt24 & all race at once with a lower speed setting.

I have a question why will it spin doughnuts one way but push on the other 2 brand new cars exactly the same problem

[@Mini-z1994]

@@paddlesworthrcpark8215 hm not sure, are axles straight on the wheels ? No odd wobble from them & chassis rolls smoothly off throttle as well ? Or does one side stop sooner causing it to kind of brake in that direction ? Might be too tight on the wheelnuts, back them off bit by bit on the side where you notice that behaviour & see if that helps. Did that on my wltoys k989 when it was tracking weirdly one direction.

@@paddlesworthrcpark8215 These cars have this little quirk that the wheel axle has fewer threads than needed to tighten the wheel. However, when adding a washer to be able to stop losing the wheels, there's also no bushing in between the wheel bearings in the uprights. So then you end up putting tension on the bearings instead, making it prone to turn more to one side. Or so a friend told me... 🤣

Yea 😅 thought you was talking about the 8th for a minute I realise the 24th has this but the wheels are loose and I've found a nilock nut fixed the problem my friend has sorted his so I'm going to get him to check it over
