Just broke in the motor and started to drive it around and slowly get into it. Under braking or acceleration it turns to the right. HPI Nitro 3 Evo RTR all suspension points look identical left to right. Any ideas? Thanks a lot!
 
You might have some drag in your brakes or steering somewhere. Check your brekas and steering , and anywhere that there could be drag.

There's a gap on the brake off the throttle or brake, is that how I check that? And how do you check steering?
 
Just a thought....check for rocks in the rims ...twigs that sort of thing. Especially if you have any 3/4 minus gravel around......notorious for creating drag one way or another.

As for the mechanics....these other gentle man know way more than I do.
 
It could be in the driveshafts, hubs, rims, anywhere!! Now you just have to take the time to check it all over.

Adjusting the steering trim seemed to take care of it... Looking at the tie rods it seemed off, now it should work fine... This should be it, right?
 
Well It sounds more like you need to re-Center your servo...
The trim adjustment is to make minor adjustments.Not to correct a problem.Take the servo horn off and turn the power on the TX and RX..Center your steer tires..And replace the horn..
Then you can make small adjustments Via the trim.
One more thing..Make sure your tie rods are of equal lengths.
