i got a strange problem at slow speed its fine but when i give it some speed one of the rear tyres looses grip and ballons causeing my savvy to drift to the left
my diffs ok and there are no striped hexes so its got me beat [:@]
i can only think it could be the tyres that r past there best

Are your hex pins okay? If your diffs are okay it really shouldn't do this. The only things I can think of off the top of my head is the set screw at the axle of the rear tire that doesn't unload, broken drive cup/axle, or bad diff causing it to unload to one wheel such as bad spider gears or too thin fluid used. Sorry if this doesn't help.

maybe i should have said i have a maximizer diff locker in the rear so there are no diff parts in the rear and both the pins that go into the locker are 100% ok
and like i say hexes and pins are fine so its beat me [:@]

are you sure that you glue oyur tire right? It could be the problem, when it on low speed, it would not be the problem.

I just experienced a problem like this.
it was my shocks I had a softer set on 1 side....everytime i hit the gas 1 side dropped down ,and 1 side stayed up a bit higher,causing it to turn right all of the sudden.
check your springs ,and or shocks for oil.

its glued tight with some team orion ca

i will just have to order some new tyres and see if that makes a diffrence

If you have the diffs locked up ..........your not breaking 1 tire loose.
If you are then the problem is obviously in the diffs.
Save your $,its not the tires.

I agree, the tires would not cause this problem. Definately look at the diffs again.

top cup on the dog bone breaks then at low speeds the edge of the break catchs with power it strips

If you have a locked diff, both wheels will turn the same speed. Period. If you are really seeing one tire baloon and the other not, you have to have a problem with the locker itself, like one sides pin slot is stipped out or something along those lines. If that all is 100% like you say, it could be that one of the tires has come unglued from the rim and is just spinning around in it-you will see evidence of this just by looking at the bead area. It can't be anything else.

it was just that my dirtbonz where a bit bald n soft so it would ballon and cause it to drift but its fine now plus i topped up my shocks but now its all good thanks guys

Still, if you are locked up, one wheel is not going to be able to spin faster than the other, so how could only one of your tires balloon up and not the other? If the wheel opposite of the one that was balloon was spinning just as fast, and in a locked application it is, the truck would spin out or roll. Either way I guess it doesn't matter now does it?

i think one of the other probs was little bits of the busted diff in the seats where the locker goes aswell as the bad tyres so anyways i got these
they where only 10.99£ about $5.50 bargain with free postage
