Default Adjusting steering

Hi guys,

I have been running my truck in the parking lot today and noticed it kinda turns when it should be going straight.. like steering is out of allignment.. But I am not sure if I need to adjust trim or adjust the tie rod things that make the wheels straight . Any advice?

Just give it some throttle and turn the nob on your radio until it goes strait. Don't mess with the rods unless your doing little circles.

So just compensate by steering the other way? Shouldn't the savvy be able to drive in a straight line on pavement when the wheel on the transmitter is not touched?

I do believe he is suggesting turning the trim nobs on your controller, you have trim nobs don't you? O_o

Oh.. DUH on my part.. I thought when he said nob (knob?).. he was reffering to the wheel.
I have a trim button. Thanks for clarifying that. I will adjust the trim on the steering servo.. as well as on the throttle.. that may be causing my erratic idle..
