Ok, I set my st. trim to center on my remote and then turn on the receiver and then the volcano and as soon as I do this the front wheels go all the way to the left. I turn the st. trim all the way as far as I can to try and center the tires and they are still off by a cm or 2. After I tried this I set the st. trim to center on the remote again and turned the transmitter on and the truck and they turn all the way to the left again except this time I adjusted the bottom turnbuckles on both tires so that they are centered but one of the turnbuckle arms I adjusted a little bit too much and came off the tire so I had to put that back on but I don't think I should of had to do this am I correct?? Anyway even after I did this and center the st. trim it still doesn't seem quite right! I just ordered the new Futaba Ph with 2 new servos. Do you think this will cure the problem because I hear chatter from the steering servo like there could be a problem with it but if it move the tires around with my hand the chatter stops. I think once I get this steering corrected and the engine problems I was having that you guyz already helped me fix I think I'll be a good knowledgeable dealer LOL LOL!!
Now I know why RCing is called a hobby because it takes some time and patience but is fun to do at the same time and I am really enjoying it so far!![8D][8D][sm=bananahead.gif]

I don't think it is how exactly can I check? I didn't see any noticeable breaks, the wheels turn and everything they just don't center.

So the tires turn fine in either direction but they just don't center? Try lifting the front end of the car into the air and try to get them to center. It could just be the weight of the car on the ground that's not letting them get all the way back into the center position. The stock servo's just aren't very strong. But yeah I've heard nothing but good things from that radio system that you ordered so you'll be in good shape when you finally get that.
