At least you didn't disagree with my tire recommendation ;-)

Well going to completely rebuild Front gearbox tonight this is turning out to be a right can of worms going to keep to the Manual steering measurements this should bring the geometry back to its original condition then be on the look out for tyres.

Also just looked at the dual block k tyres as a replacement for the Mini spikes I have on they seem to all be the same size so now am I having to buy a set of rear Top force wheels to fit on the Front so I can have the same size tyre all round ?

I'd go for a set of Pro-Line 2.2" Dirt Hawgs with matching rims...
Not sure they will exactly fit Top Force rims (they're 0.1 inch larger?) but they do fit dish wheels at least.

I am going to stick to the original wheels for the Top Force its Tamiya 100th Buggy so should not be messed with to much IMO realised that the Tamiya k block tyres do come as a set of front and rears so ill be fitting them to the Car as well.

Thank you all for your help will post pic's when I can

Whether or not it will help at this point I don't know, but when the Hotshot was originally released, the advice was always "Run toe-out on the rears, keep the fronts parallel (& check that play in the suspension/steering doesn't affect the setting under power)".

I would think the idea was to have the front wheel drive dragging the splayed/stable rear end around, to give driveability similar to a front wheel drive only car.

In my experience, 4wd on fast stuff is only ever useful for showing off, exiting bends backwards & recovering from unrecoverable spin-outs... oh & climbing trees. Real drivers prefer RWD, FWD is for wanabees with no idea what to do when it goes wrong, 4wd should be limited to playing in mud & scaling cliffs
