Ok, brand new buggy, Sportwerks Mayhem with the known .26 engine.

Everything is setup out of the box, no adjustments have been done at all.

The problem I am having is that when driving the buggy it tends to slide too much. The tires are brand new, I double check if anything was wrong, but all seems ok.

I don't know if it is the diff oils are too thick or too light. If I lift the vehicle and try to rotate the right rear tire, then the left tire rotates as well. How can I make it that instead of rotating the rear left tire it will rotate the rear shaft that goes to the center diff.

I hate it, no matter how easy I go on the throttle, once I punch the gas its a matter of crossing my fingers to help it does not drifts to the left or right. The same goes with breaking. Everytime I hit the breaks it just slides erratically.

I got an OFNA Ultra LX, by the way is heavier, and I dont face non of these problems. The OFNA I bought it used so I dont know if the oils have been changed at all in the diffs. With the OFNA I can play with shock oils, ride height and only thing gets affected is turning and maybe just a little on total vehicle control.

So, please any help...?

How can I prevent the SportWerk Mayhem from drifting, losing control, going sideways when punching the gas??
