Back end all over the place?

Hello,

I just built my M18. What a fantastic little car this is! But, I've got one question.

The back of the car is all over the place. Especially when driving very slowly, it literally rolls left and right. The diffs are both working fine, the suspension seems to be working fine (falls down when lifting the car, with springs removed).

I'm suspecting the huge amount (5 degrees) of toe-in on the rear to be the culprit. I seem to remember this from my sim racing days. Can anyone confirm this? Or should a stock M18 run perfectly straight without a twitching back end?

Thanks for any clarification!

As soon as I have a chance to visit the LHS, I'm going to get foams and the adjustable turnbuckles and reduce toe in at the back.

I'll let you know how it works out.

Thanks for all your help!
