so after almost a full season of Racing i started having major problems with my steering after rebuilding my diff's the car is a Tamiya TB03 with the default ball diffs front and rear. the diffs arent binding and it was probably more to do with the hits i was taking from the other racers the last race before the rebuild. i have completly checked the linkages and everything was strait.
I even dismantled everything and Mic'ed everything back to original spec but no matter what i keep getting it pulling to one side which it never did before. the only reason i don't believe its the diff is that I'm have the exact same problem on my TL01 which was why i bought the TB03 to begin with. so I'm looking for some help on diagnosing where to look for fixing it. I'm on a limited budget since its so close to christmas. so heres what i have so far.
1. could be the esc, which is about 7 years old Novak Explorer 2. could possibly be under feeding the servo.
2. the servo, its a hitech hs5645MG 1 year old originally purchased for my revo's steering replacement but was salvaged for the tb03 only had about 5 runs in my parking lot (no bashing) before being place in the tb-03
3. the diff, i hadn't had the problem prior to rebuilding the diffs but again i hadn't run the car since the race on Friday 11/02/2012 rebuilt the diff the following Monday 11/5/2012 noticed the problem that Thursday 11/8/2012 before the next race Friday 11/9/2012.
Sorry for the wall of text but I'm just baffled on what to try. next series race starts on 12/1/2012 and i want to be able to get back to it by then.
