Default Steering problem.....Please Help

There' s some steering problem with my Ramunition.... When I turn, I can hear the cracking noise.... Also, when turning right... one wheel turns more than the other wheel. so basically... if I turn right, the right wheel turns to 45 degrees and the left wheel would only turn 20 degrees... any suggestions? When I turn left, both wheels are fine. I inspected the problem and found out that the arm that turns the wheel, the joint on one of the arms is a little loosen than the other one... I tried hard to push the joint back together, couldn't do it.. any suggestions.

I dont have a ramunition, but seeing as you are a beginner I'm going to offer some advice.
In this hobby, it is not necessary to think like an engineer all the time. Most times the simplest ideas are the best ones.
Grab the manual that came with the truck. Even if it sucks (sometimes they do) and dont explain everything step by step; looking at the exploded view can help tons.
Look how everything is supposed to go together on your front suspension. Now grab your truck and look at how it is currently. Find the differences. Make it match your manual or exploded view pictures.
This should also give you a better understanding of how all the parts "fall" together and work together.
Also gives you part numbers so you can google them and find replacements

good luck with your first truck!

Yeah you should ask these questions in one of your other threads you have about 10 threads that could all be in the first thread you ever made because they are basically the same thing.

you blew the servo gears apart.
find one of the other threads on here reagrding servo issues with the mlst line of trucks. there you will find good information on how to fix it.

of and SAm... your truck is the same thing as the mlst, mlst2 and the mini monster baja. the ONLY difference between yours and the ones I mentioned is you started out with one brushed motor and all these started out with two. the frames, servos, diff's etc are all the same.

Look in the other threads before starting a new one.

thx alot buddy...... I'm a little suspicious that it might be the ball joint of one of its arms that's causing it to function incorrectly...I can see that the joint on the right seems to loosen a little, but I took it out and put the joint back together again. Didn't help. If I turn left, both wheels turn a the the same angle and would return to straight after release the steering wheel.. However, when I turn right, the righter wheel always turns more and when I release the steering wheel, it does not come back to the original position.(comes back a little, back not to the straight position) I believe it's the servo gear too.

i believe it's the servo that's causing the clicking noise.. I heard that the stock servo is not strong enough for my brushless power. I'm going to my local hobby store and see if there's any upgrade or stock servo available and just replace them.....
