hey i got my rc10gt recently. the kid b4 me took out the restrictor and the car flies. but every time i would floor from a stop the car would veer off to a side. i adjusted the steering and the car is pretty staright when im already going.
could it be a weak servo?
i cut my clutch like 2 holes becuz my wheels would always move no matter how much i messed with the throttle trim. its now a whole lot better and doesnt veer off when i floor it, but it is a bit slower off the line. and oh yea i run my car on pro-line road rage street tires.
i have the stock hitec servos and radio, so if i was to buy a new steering servo how much would it cost?
would a JR XR2 radio come with all replacement servos?

CA,
You shouldn't need much by way of steering trim. If you do, your car is out of whack. I would make sure that all of your turnbuckles are the correct lengths and thats your diff is properly set. You should be able to zero-out your trim and be VERY close to dead-straight.

umm, iv never seen a car where the steering is perfect from the factory, me and my friends always had to tinker with it a little bit.
so could horrible off-the-line oversteer be due to weak throttle servo?

My RC 10 does the same thing. I have the steering trim set so it rolls almost perfectly straight, but under full throttle accelerating from a stop, it likes to veer to the right a bit. I think it may be a case of both rear wheels not receiving exactly the same amount of power. Could be the same thing you're experiencing.

I wouldn't trade this Fantom for any other .15. If you mean does the truck move at idle, no it doesn't. I have the idle set low enough so it doesn't move.
