Problem with steering or drive and info about my cool truck!!

[joshiestevens]

Hey.

I took my Kyosho Inferno TR-15 Hardcore bashing today. I took it on stones and mud etc.

I knew the problem before I took it out, but it was a bit of a pain.

Basically, firstly, the front 2 wheels turn really slowlly, and dont turn back to their original centre position, so when I turn it when I'm driving, and let go, the truck continues to go slightly in that direction which is incredible annoying.

I think the drive may be something to do with it, like one wheel is turning slower etc, and I think it could be the back.

I am using a Futaba S3003 servo for the front wheels, and the tyres are 4inches in diameter.

Also, How long do you think my engine will last, It is running just right on the LSN, maybe a tad lean, but it is running rich on the HSN.

The way I am going to be driving it, is just skidding on stones, huge steep piles of stones(Parking lot gravel), more stones.. hehe, loose grass, and mud, at 3/4 -full throttle.

I also dont drive with the body on.

Oh, and when I am done with the car, I will sell it, and get a 1/8 cos they are obviously more fun.

get a stronger steering servo...and your engine won't last long if you're rich on the lsn

rich??? do you mean lean?

I dont actually think I am lean. If I let it idle for 20secs, and then push full hrottle (when the engine is fully warmed up), it takes off imediately, and dusnt gargle. There is a nice trail of blue smoke from the exhaust.

Also, do I really need a new servo, or can I loosen the steering somehow. If I do need to replace the servo, which servo should I get. (Not to expensive).

The thing is that in all the kyosho pictures of the tr-15 stadium froce, it has the s3003 servos, so I think something is to tight? or maybe I am wrong.

for a servo a good one to get is the hitec 645mg, i'll be getting it soon
