can you use tire pressure to help get the truck to run straight , it gets pretty wild when you lay into it , it always goes to the right , so i was curious whether i could play with the tire pressure and maybe help it run straight ? thanks in advance for any info

If you are talking at the dragstrip, yes you can help that to a certain extent. Also you can adjust the suspension. If you are talking about going down the road then it could alot of different things.

Yep at the dragstrip you want the tire pressure to be the same otherwise the truck will launch one way or the either.

Well if you have a spool or welded the spiders and having the problem, you have one tire that is "biting" harder than the other one. This could be caused by the slapper bars being adjusted wrong or possibly a weak leaf spring.

Mine moves to the right also . I have to move the wheel to about 2 o'clock . Besides that it spins just a bit sideways fine . Swap those radials for a tire with bite , that'll end your sideways trouble .

What type of supension are you running? Stock, Ladder Bar, Slapper Bars, 4 Link. All have some adjustments that can be made to help it run straight.
