A new servo and aluminum servo arm will help only if the ones installed in your truck currently aren't up to par but I think you need an alignment and to tune your suspension and try some different wheels and tires.

u might want to check and see if your wheels are tight on the carriers, also check your toe in/out on the front and rear tires. im guessing one side is off a little and ur having to fight against it on the track.

your rear wheels should be closer to the chassis on the front of the tire and farther away from the chassis at the back of the wheel......sorry I can never keep toe in or toe out straight...that will make it track straighter

not true guy.....you need a bit of toe in on the rears for sure...if you leave the wheels straight it will skate all over the place..

your toe links on the rear...they join the axle carrier to the chassis.....look here:

all you do is set the truck up with the wheels off the ground now turn one toe link(there is a spot in the middle of the toe link to get a wrench or a pair of pliers on) watch the wheel it will start to either move toe in or out depending on which way you are turning it...just make sure whatever you do to one side of the truck you do the same on the other side of the truck...start with the rear and you will notice a big differance in the tracking of the truck
