Default Very sloppy steering in Lightning VX!! Help!!

Hello all,


I recently aquired a pretty new Lightning VX and I have noticed that the steering on it is very sloppy and does not return to full center on one side. If I turn the wheels to the left and release the wheel on the TX the wheels will snap back to center. If I turn the wheels to the right and release the wheel on the TX the wheels on the car will only return to about 95-97% back to center. However if I take everything off the steering servo and do this test then the servo will return to center perfectly everytime even if I take my thumb and apply pressure to the splined shaft to add stress.

Has anyone had this problem and can it be fixed?

Could this just be the nature of the brand or do I have a flaw?

I can't drive straight most of the time because I have to keep trimming the steering. Like if I accelerate and drive without turning the wheel the car will not go straight like I can with my Traxxas Revo.

Please help because I really like this car and I want it to perform better.

Thanks

Rob
