Default Steering help

Ive just got a Nemesis and have broken it in. Though for some reason when trying to run straight it will turn to the right, not slightly but dramatically making it harder to control. Also when I go to turn to the left it doesnt have as much turning power as aposed to turning it to the right. The only thing I can see wrong is the left wheel slightly wobbles, it seems CEN didnt glue the tyre on properly. Though being the tyre and not the whole wheel it shouldnt pose to be a problem. As Im no so experienced with the airtronics MX3 is there away to fix this? I dont think mucking with the steering throttle does anything but makes it turn stronger and quicker in the direction selected.

Anyway to make it run straight?

Maybe check that thread out. I guess the toe and camber make huge differences with these trucks

That thread talks about torque steer, However you commented about the truck not being able to turn left as well as it does right, so I'm going to assume that even if your going slow and you just make a left turn you cant get it to steer as fast as it does right, If this is true, check your servo alignment , see if when the servo is centered if the wheels are also centered. If not you may have to adjust the steering linkages.

I have realigned them, and checked the steering linkages. I shall see if it runs straigther tomorrow.

Dustin, where abouts is the toe and chamber settings? Where can I find the place on the truck to adjust these?

You set the camber with the shaft between the two parts of the upper a-arm, and the toe with the smaller linkage. Notice the holes? Put an allen wrench or similar in the hole and turn the shaft in the direction you want.

Heh. serry I meant to paste this one too. If you notice, the guy who started that last thread about torque steer tells you here how he fixed his problem by setting his wheels.
