      help! I just bought a drift axel and the car seems to turn for no reason.

      I think its because the wheels arnt glued onto the axel evenly. please help!

      Yeah it has no traction, and it does donuts by itself.

      Welcome to Physics 101.

      Drift axle removes just about all grip from your rear; everytime you steer the rear will breakaway. Anybody would know that the bit also bumpsteers each time you hit a bump, so that won’t help either. Your challenge is to keep the car going sideways, not doing donuts – nobody said it was easy.

      Try putting the hardest tyres you have on the front. The hard Bit Racer ones are the hardest Tomy ones available.
