When ever I pull the throttle a little, especialy when I hammer it, the rear end on my gt slips out from under it and it almost does donuts. What can I do set-up wise to corect this. Thanks!

What does "slips out" mean? Is it that the tires just spin or the rear arm mounts move. If you can move the whole arm and wheel with your hand the arm mount may be stripped. Or you might have a broken bearing in the hub.

Easy solutions: loosen the slipper a little or even easier, be more gentle with the throttle =)
If it does it really easily though, check to make sure both tires have the same camber. Also check to make sure anything is loose such as the wheel, mount, carrier, etc. If one side is a little different than the other or something is loose, the truck will try to pull under acceleration. You running 3 or 4.5 degrees of rear toe-in? It sounds to me like a little more toe-in would help you-- try 4.5 degrees (3 degree mounts, 1.5 degree carriers) if you aren't running it already.

Thanks! Oh, and if you thought that I was having diarea problems when you read the title, you are sick!

If its a new GT make sure you have the correct hub carriers on each side (right on right side left on left side.) If you have them reversed the rear toe in will be decreased.
