Its the tire and wheel, its just an axel that goes threw 2 bearings and a crush ring at the steering block and castor block, and connects straight to the diff, the other wheel had the same problem, but was caused by some excess goop in the hex hub, cleared it out and the wheel is wobble free, but the left wheel still wobbles.

BTw thank you for mentioning theres a ca releasant, been needing to fix one of the rear wheels the foam slid and I have a flat spot in the tire lol.

I was thinking the same thing...

Anyway, on my brushless 4-tec conversion, I noticed the spin-out issue as well. I found that heating the tires up does wonders for traction. No tire-warmer for me though; a couple minutes of drifting works well. (at the expense of tire wear). A looser diff can help too. Also, if the suspension is too tight, a little bump can lift a tire enough so that the tire with traction sends it in circles (a tight diff doesn't help this scenario at all).

As far as the wobble goes; can you shim the axles a bit? Again, in my 4-tec, I had wobble too and had to add a few shims between the carrier bearing and heax/pin. Not too much though or the bearing will bind up; just enough to reduce the wobble. Also, make sure the shim just covers the inner bearing race; if it touches both outer and inner races, it will cause drag, friction, and wear.
