How about trying to use just one servo and then the other to see if it is one servo or both that are giving you the problem. Are you using a BEC, or just running both servos off of the ESC? Running two servos on the ESC might just be too much servo draw to deal with. Especially if they are high torque servos. I have had servo issues myself and still do not quite get how different some servos are when all the specs seem to be the same. The other thing that I believe you are going to have a problems with is using aluminum rims under power. Super-glue just does not stick too well to aluminum, and they will seperate fairly easy under load. There are several threads inhere about using beadlock rims, balancing wheels, and also taping the tires to prevent balooning whih yu will more than likely see if you use a good range of power, torque, and speed.

Jerry, I have tapped the tires. I'm hoping that they wont separate. I took extra time to sand the wheels and clean the release agent from the wheels. No I'm not using a separate BEC, but these servo's are not super high torque. I'm hopping the Hitec 9380 brushless servos with the low power draw will fix the problem of using high torque servos without a separate BEC. As for balancing I found a solution for my Dynamite wheel balancer.
Dynamite makes an 12mm axle, and I just bought a 12mm to 14mm adapter so I will be able to use the Dynamite balancer with these 14mm wheels. Balancing all my 17mm wheels has made such a dramatic difference in how my other truck ran I will not drive a truck/car without having the wheels balanced. I'm hoping all the extra time and care that I took gluing the tires on will result in no tire blow outs. Only time will tell. I was not planning on any real high speed runs until I balanced the tires. Just like everything else I have done with this build I will take my time and think things through before proceeding on. Thanks for the advice, input, and kind words.
Mike.
