Default tornado s30 steering problem

<font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">I have recently purchased a torando s30 nitro buggy. The steering control has not worked from day 1. </font><font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">The throttle control works and the steering trim works but there is no response from the steering knob on the controller. Any ideas? </font>
<font style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: arial,sans-serif; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
Also, when I turn on the transmitter then turn on the receiver, sometimes there is no control. I have to do this process a number of times and eventually the transmitter and receiver communicate. Even so, we still have the steering problem. The batteries have been changed numerous times.

sounds like the radio is defective. go to redcat's website and fill out the warrenty form. they will replace it for you.

Have you made sure your ST.D/R is trimmed out correctly.

Its the farthest back knob , turn it back towards yourself. Turning it to the left will give you less steering, turning it to the right will give you more steering.

Hopefully thats your prob. Would be a simple fix anyways.

yes that is it. Thank-you. The kit came with no instructions on the radio. Being a beginner it was not that intuitive to me. Thanx again. I also found the wiring between the receiver batteries and reciver switch to be bad. That is why it would not always turn on. resoldered no problem. thank for all of the help.
