The servo saver would be a primary candidate, along with linkages and bearings. A plastic rod end could be cracked but not broken, for instance - you wouldn't see the problem, but it would pull away/flex under stress when in use. A stuck bearing could also create the pull - there should be signs of this if it is the case(scars on the shaft it rides on, for instance). If you are using 1/8 diffs with diff outdrives, it could be as simple as a loose set screw on one of the drive cups(would send power to only one wheel and eventually diff out to the wheel not receiving power). The truck should accelerate nice and straight without the D-box.
Mike I am using a dual servo saver setup, and they are all metal (from Golden Horizon) The bearings are brand new. Very little on this truck is old. In fact the only "used" things on the truck would be the MM motor and ESC. All bearings on the truck are brand new. Do you think the dual servo saver setup might be too stiff? I'm using dual black springs with this set up.
