I've recently bought a Kyosho PureTen EP Alpha 2 Subaru WRX from my nephew. I don't really know anything about them or radio controlled models generally, but I'm familiar with working on road cars.

My model came with the original nicad batteries, plus some new ni-mh batteries. My nephew said the nicads had been banned, but not sure if it's still ok to use old ones.

I tried it out last weekend and it goes really well. I had a slight issue with the steering which was fine turning in one direction but didn't move as far in the other. I had a look, and there seems to be some play in the servo saver, although it doesn't look like it's broken. I put a small cable tie around it, and the steering seems much better but I don't think this is a particularly good idea, having read what the servo saver is designed to do.

Can anyone give me any general advice on using the car, or advice about the steering issue?
