Hi, my 5b pulls hard to the right with acceleration. Steering trim is at neutral so its not that, plus it's really light at front, wheels barely touching ground. Massive understeer, although that's probably my throttle input.
Any advice on setup and driving tips?
 
all the above mate, plus low oil in right rear shock,
or if ya have a spool fitted in the diff or very heavy diff fluid you could have a busted dogbone pin in the right side as well,
 
Great I'll suss all that when I get a chance. Don't think it would be the bearings, it's only new and maybe 3-4 tanks thru it. All diff is stock from the box. Won't have a chance to run for a bit so it'll take a while to get to it.

Had same issue with obr twin rear shock right side
 
check and make sure all the suspension is free and moving correctly.
is the rear dropping a bunch under throttle or even just sitting there? may need to stiffen the rear to stop the weight from transferring to the back and get the suspension to act more neutral. mess the preload to get it right. stiffen the back too much and it will start oversteering.
