I have just built an XRay T2 and when I apply maximum acceleration the
vehicle veers to the left. What could be causing this and what could I
change to rectify this?

Thanks for your help.

what I would check for one by one:

radio settings, is the car set to steer straight

Check that ride height is equal all the way around

Set the car down on a totally flat surface. Are all four wheels touching
the surface. Do this with batteries and electronics in the car. Push
down and release all four corners of the car...does it bounce back
equally or is one wheel's suspension binding.

Do you use the same holes for the front when mounting the shocks...same
for rear?

check the droop settings

camber should be set to -1 degree for all wheels

does one of the front wheels have a different toe-in setting than the
other

are the tires new?

take the pinion off and spin the wheels by hand. Is one wheel binding?

is one side of the car way way heavier than the other, due to where you
put the electronics?
