I took it to the hobby shop just the otherday and the owner told be to adjust the wheels so that it both of it point outwards. I tried that and now it drifts left. So I readjusted it back to straight. and now its kinda like anything goes.

Its not apparent when you move short distances, but when you move long distances in a straight line (like say 15 feet) then you can see it drifiting.

Does it always drift one way??

If not, it could be just the slop in the steering system. I changed my steering servo saver to the heavy duty unit one from Kimbrough....

It's not a high tech machine, don't expect it to go straight ahead.

Does it turn to the left/right or does it slide to the left/right.

It tends to slide to the left/right.....


What about the bit about the having both front wheels facing outwards, is that something thats generally true for most RC's?

If it goes to left sometimes, and right sometimes -> there's slop in your steering system.. which, you may or may not be able to fix.. (a better servo saver would help..) Tighten down your servo some...

Both wheel facing outwards -> that's called toe-out.. it helps you with turn in, make it turn better, but you lose some stability.. with wheel facing inward, toe-in, you will track more straight.. but the car does not turn as well..

Not like a Wild Willy ever turn that well.. (front tires not touching the ground = hard to turn.. LOL!)

Right, but are you talking about MY WW-2? Or someone else's WW-2? Like this?!



You can duplicate what I did with stuff from Tower and rcMart....

The upper link kit (adjustable links) are Tamiya hop-up (TL-01 links), the motor heatsink = Tamiya stuff.. (Tower or rcMart)

The metal stuff from rcMart..

The harden outdrive = Tamiya.. (Tower or rcMart)

Kimbrough servo saver = Kimbrough, you can get that from Tower..

Good luck!! Let me know if you have any specific questions...

His helmet says, "Will" in Katakana symbols. I tried my best to copy it.

I used to love MK when it came out for PS2, I don't even have the game anymore, but it was still fun when you had a few ppl to play.

The colors I had determined the character...LOL
