Check the steering bellcranks for binding, and check that your pillowball retainers make sure they are not too tight, also make sure that the screws that hold it in place are not too tight. If you are running stock stuff it is an area that I would reccomend upgrading. You can improve the stock bellcranks by replacing the stock bushings with ball bearings.

you can get 8mm bearings i think it is and replace the plastic bushings in your steering bells and your throatle bells. which will lessen the drag. therefore make steering easier and more robust. a GOOD servo will help ALOT too. i use a JRZ9000T @115.00. but a 50.00 hitec hg645m will work well.. personally i like overkill on my steering..
