Any ideas on where to start or how to sort this would be great.

Thanks in advanced
You don't give any info about your setup but I'm going to make a few assumptions...

- You have a Mamba Max - that suggests you are a SPEED FREAK! - so slow down a bit before trying to steer

- Lipo packs are a lot lighter than the NiMH the car was designed for, the lighter weight and change in weight distribution (effectiveley further forward) will make the car less stable and more sensitive to steering inputs. Try to ballast the car back up to NiMH weight distribution again.

- Are you running on a prepared track or running for fun? I'm guessing you run for fun. And I'll double-guess that you have jacked the suspension up really high? This will also cause grip roll as you will have no droop left so the wheels will start to leave the ground really easily. Try a ride height as suggested in the HB setups on the Mirage site, probably dogbones level is a good start.
