I am having some steering issues with my Hellfire SS. I have a Hi-Tec digital Servo with 160 oz of torque( not the greatest, but not bad either). I went to the track for the first time, and had such a hard time getting around the turns, then realized, whenever I turned right, I couldn't turn as sharply. The LHS thought servo saver too loose. Took off the whole top plate, it was tight. Then it continued. Then I realized the servo horn was stripped out, causing it not to grab. I replaced it with an alum one that came with the servo. Grabs better, but still not getting great steering...

Check your tow in in the front. If you have had some good crashes, you could have knocked it out. You could put in a lighter diff oil in the front. This will lock in posi less helping you turn. Other than that gas it or brake it to help turn.

Have you checked your EPA's on the radio and made sure both sides are maxed out properly (properly meaning far enough but not to far enough to damage the servo)? I think thats a better place to start than toe and diff fluids. But as far as front toe out, you never want anymore than 2-2 1/2 degree's. In the rear, 2 to 4 degree's of toe in is where you want to be.
