well i got my maxx out today and i put 40 series tires on. seems as if when i compress the suspension the right rear wheel turns outward. i adjusted the turnbuckle and it helped but then at the neutral position the tire points inward(toward the chassis) none of the other tires do this. all the lugs are tight so there is no play in them. i didnt notice this with the oem tires but i didnt run it long with them also. any body ever have this problem

all maxxs do the same thing on both of the back wheels if its the 3.3 maxx get the rpm true track rear arms and it will solve the problem, if its not the 3.3 you can do a conversion, all you will need to do is replace the front arms and front and rear axle shafts to ones from a 3.3, then buy the true track rear arms

my revo's front tires do that when i have the hub (upright) switched with the other side.
also on my revo the rear will do that when i take the turnbuckel and place it on wrong on the hub(upright) either on top or on bottom not sure which but the wrong way .

well oonly the right rear does it. when the suspension is not compressed alll whells are straight. (satisfactory) and then once you compress it the right rear points inward alot. the other side doesnt. i guess ill have to dig into it more. oh its the older version. with the .15

what side of the knuckles are you turnbuckles on? top of bottom? The same thing happened to me a while ago. THe turnbuckles should be on the bottom of the knuckles and then ONLY the nut on top.
