Status: offline 		Dear All;

Bought a nitro bike from HobbyKing. Setup as per similar to TT nitro bike. Even added in twin steering damper. I just can't figure out how to control this thing. I know that to turn the bike right, the wheel has to point left and vice versa....to the effect of centre of gravity. I tried it, but the thing just refuses to turn. It would always want to go straight or require an incredibly large space to turn. Can any one help to enlighten me?

Thanks

I'm not familiar with the exact bike you have but most motorcycles have two springs on the servo horn. Try setting them tighter and see how it works our for you. The dual steering dampers could also be way to stiff. Make sure the steering head moves pretty freely.
