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?

RE: Adjusting steering
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.

RE: Adjusting steering
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?

RE: Adjusting steering
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..
