Under hard acceleration the car pulls to left pretty hard.
how can I fix this?I was told to come on the throttle smoother and that would help.

this could also be a diff setting or a binding diff.    it could be spinning the right wheel faster and that would push the car to the left.

are you running a ball diff or the stock diff?

This is a new car, and I was going to check the gear diff next.Could the chassis be tweeked a little if the diff is ok?

chassis tweak is very common on the F1's  you'll need to use some small shims under the rear plates.   you'll want to lift the front from the center of the wing, and both wheels should come off the ground at the same time.   if there is a lot you will notice it right away.

Another thing to try is the wheel nuts being too tight. If either nut is too tight it will bind that side and make the car turn in that direction under power. I had a similar problem. On a stock gear diff you will want to make sure the left wheel nut (opposite gear side) is not too tight. Pulling to one side on power is usually a binding issue. Check all your wheel nuts and make sure they are not too tight. If you have bearings make sure they roll smooth.

Thanks for all the help.I beleive the wheel nut was the cause of the problem.Will find out Thursday night when I run it again. Thanks again guys!

hope that was it for you.   also the aluminum lock nuts inter fear less with the bearings than the larger plastic ones do.   they also don't strip as easy as well.   Might look into them.
