Savage XL not going in straight line

[abouzainah]

Hello Everyone, this is my first post.

I just bought a 2nd hand Savage XL which is my first ever nitro RC, i was doing some testing yesterday and noticed that the truck tend to go to left a little bit and not in a straight line, i tried to adjust it from the remote transmeter but that didn't help.

I was doing some research and found some articles about adjusting tie-rods and turnbuckle, am not exactly sure that this is the problem or how to adjust them.

appreciate your help guys and please excuse my lack of knowledge, i just started the RC hobby would be great if any got photos of what has to be adjusted.

Attached some photos for more details.

One thing would be to remove the servo horn from the servo and then turn on your radio and center that servo. Then eyeball the front tires to straight and re-attach. That way you will have a good place to start. After that if it is way off you can adjust the toe.

Thanks for your reply, time to do some search to find out how to reach that servo

Yup...just finished repairing it, gonna try it tomorrow to see how it will run

Had extra unused spare parts from my last shocks rebuild, it's the same set for shocks and turnbuckle
