David, sounds like you must still have a stock type Ford Traction-Lok, or should I say Traction-Loss? Mine was the same way, but after putting the Eaton Positraction in there, it isn't a problem anymore, now it leaves two nice straight tracks. It's also much nicer for launching, because with the stock diff that can sometimes get one tire spinning first, it's a lot easier to break them loose.David Neibert said:when my SC spins them, it gets a little sideways and usually I have to let off before they stop spinning.
