Default low traction

My first run with my bird I had a stability problem it lunched very good but it was going Right to left and lift to right all the way the 1/4 and low traction lit up any cure for that.
Some say you need a wheel alignment.
Any thoughts
Thanks

Sounds to me like you had the traction control on...turn that stuff off when you're racing

But the question is I don’t have traction control switch and my bird don’t have one it only came out at the track and in rainy days when I lose traction due to wet and slippery surface.

No my bird has the original suspension and ride height.
One of my friends says it’s a bad rear shook absorber and I think it’s
The cause of the problem
