My son has a new MT2 and we are having steering issues. Basically, the steering gets very tight and at times the front wheels get stuck and won't move at all. I don't think it is the servo (although I can't say for sure) because when I disconnect the ballcup the servo seems to rotate fine. It almost feels like a piece of gravel or something is getting stuck and preventing the wheel from returning to straight but I can never find anything in there. When we do get the wheels "unstuck" it still doesn't turn as sharp and quickly as it should. We've had the wheels get stuck three times so far and each time I don't really even know how we got it working again - it just seemed to kind of start working on it's own (but with limited steering). I will probably tear the steering system apart tonight to see if I can find the culprit but if anyone can give me some ideas to look at I would appreciate it.

Also, the brakes are not working that well either. I put in a longer piece of fuel tubing and adjusted the brakes to fully engage but they just don't have the stopping power and the car half coasts to a stop. I belive the car has the fiber brake pad. I am thinking that maybe some fuel/oil got on the brake pad but I don't know if that woud cause this ungoing problem or not. Many of you may have seen this issue posted on my previous thread but I thought I would post again here in case there are people not watching that thread. Sorry about the redundancy.

I am going to be placing an order soon for spare parts for the car so if there is anything I need to replace for either of the above issues I hope to get them in that same order.

Thanks,

Matt

edit: I also forgot to ask, what is the typical running time for the car with a properly tuned G3 engine. His run times seem to be fairly short compared to my RC10GT and we also seem to be spewing a large amount of nitro. I am guessing we are too rich and that is keeping our runtimes short but I am nervous about leaning it out too much. I am going to order a heat sensor to better tune the engine but in the meantime I thought I would see how his runtimes compare to the norm to get in the ballpark.
