I am extremely new to everything about rc nitro trucks and I was breaking in my engine and accidentally tipped my truck over going about 5mph on the pavement. Today I went to start it and now it steers to the right. Only reason I am asking is my nephew was playing with my radio system and I dont know if he could of done something to cause the steering to be messed up or if i bent something. Any and all help would be greatly apprecaited.

Umm, check ur trim on ur radio. You probably didn't break anything at 5mph. Ur nephew probably just messed with ur trim nob

Your trim is more then likely off. So, just reset it.

Yes it was the steering trim on the radio! Thanks! Now I have a new question. I finally took the truck off road in a field and all of a sudden my steering was way off. My truck will just make circles and then it will etl me steer it left or right. I took it on pavement and I can get it to go left and right once every minute for like 3 seconds. Is something wrong with my radio or frequency? My antena on the truck did fall off while i was driving it and I had to stick it through the tube again. Could something have gotten messed up?

To me, it sounds like you are losing the signal.

Does it do it at close range?

Or only at longer ranges?

Ether way, change the batteries to start. Even if they are new, do it again.

If that doesn't fix it, check to make sure that the wire is O.K. You may have torn the wire on the inside. That is if it got tugged on, or something when the tube came off.

Are you using batteries for the receiver. If you are get a recharable pack for it. The truck steering weird could be cause by low power to the receiver. Make sure if you are using the stock radio that you put on a failsafe so you don't end up with a run away truck. After it hits something and breaks it will cost you more than a failsafe.

You might need a new steering servo. The servos on the Terror are known to have issues.

It was my steering servo. I'm going to contact Tower Hobbies today because it seems to be defective. Also when taking the servo off, the horn is already damaged from digging into a screw on the side of the frame. I'm going to try and grind down the edge of the screw because it will just break the horn with more driving. Any other ideas? I mean I drove the truck 6 times and already a bad servo and the problem with the horn just doesnt seem right.
