Servo starts turning left!
Yesterday I cleaned my RC car, I took everything off the chassis and cleaned it. Today after I put it all back together, I noticed when I turn it on it instantly turns left and if I turn it right it just snaps back left. I already played with my controller and I know its not that.
Does anyone know how to fix it? It is the stock TC4 servo.

RE: Servo starts turning left!
Take the servo saver off the steering servo.
Check the controller, and make sure that the trim, sub-trim, REV buttons, etc. haven't been accidentally bumped or changed. Make sure the servo is plugged in correctly into the Rx.
Test the servo again, and if it works fine, then center the steering linkage and pop the servo saver back on.
If the problem is still there, get a spare servo and test things out again.
Also check the steering action while the servo saver is popped off. Make sure there's no binding or tension or sticking.

RE: Servo starts turning left!
Thank you, man I must have spent 30 minutes trying to get it to point 90 degrees, then I realized that's what the tuning knobs on my controller was for!
