[thecrack]

Hi all thanks for hte help.

I am new at this. I havea tamiya tnx. it will not go straight. I tried adjsuting the radio but even when I adjsut it all the way the other way it still goes to the right (not in circles anymore though).

thanks

Turn on the radio gear, center the steering trim. Remove the arm from the steering servo. Align the wheels pointing straight, then reattach the servo arm. If it does it again the servo arm is stripped or the servo saver is broke.
Also check to make sure the steering turnbuckles are set to the proper length on both sides.

scrogg-
thanks for your help. How do I make sure the steering turnbuckles are set to the right length and how do I readjust them? I think the servos are fine.

thanks

The turnbuckles adjust your wheel alignment. If one wheel is pointing too far in or out when the other is straight forward, you need to adjust them.

thanks so much. How do I adjust the turnbuckles? I see that they come off do I take it off or jsut twist the little bolt in the middle.

thnaks,

Turn the bolt in the middle. You should have a little wrench that came with it. You'll soon see if you are turning the right way. Just remember, each end is threaded in an opposite direction so it will adjust in or out.
