Im with Southwell on this...yellow Schumachers are the only choice IMO.
How long since you last rebuilt your diff? And is your diff smooth as a smooth thing or as sandy as a sandy thing? Post your setup here...we should be able to get you turning soon enough.

Yellow what? Minipins? Are you cutting off rows? I don't see how you can understeer on carpet with minipins, mine always steers like a mofo. Chuck up your full setup.

this is from memory cos im at work an dont have the car.
front 30wt silvers, standard piston inside hole on the bottom, middle on the top. camber 1deg 1 washer under the front ballstud rear 30wt silvers, standard pistons outside bottom, middle top. camber 1deg shaved flat on the rear ballstud wheelbase short, 1deg anti squat. 10.5, standard spur, 23pinion greens with inside and outside cut off front and rear. and i always get confused over the whole pins and spikes thing, so ill just say there the nationals and regionals nominated tires |

Try outside on F arm, outside on F hubs too and 30' castor blocks.
Inside on R arm, 2' rear camber

Shumey yellow minipins are the only tyre to run on carpet
I would suggest also checking all the suspension components to make sure it is all free. Could be a bent hinge pin or something in there Im with Cosie, run outside hole on the front wishbones Also check to make sure the wishbones are laying level when the car is stationary with the cells in |

My B4 used to drift like that for no obvious reason and with what most people would consider a standard set up. Very annoying.
I glued the servo saver up which solved the problem in an instant. |

I'm with Medders, check your servo saver. Better still, glue it together and forget about it.

Mike,
I suffer lack of exit steering/grip which does annoy me...but initial and entry steering/grip are all fine. I can only put it down to not enough weight over the front. Dave, I use a pistol

this has happened to me before, it was the servo saver being too loose.
I ended up buying a metal assembly as the threads in the saver kept striping or just glue it up as sugested |

Ive tried putting some weight over the front end. but it doesnt help much. ive tried putting around 40g in there as far forward as i couldnt. and its not the servo saver guys thats already done.
