Could be your servo when the juice is being drawn from it, it is causing it to go crazy. On my t-maxx I am running a traxxas 2075 waterproof digital and it owns so it will probably work on yours.

It could also be that your throttle is starving your steering servo of power due to the batteries tyou are using. Most people move up to a 6VDC Rx pak as they are more reliable. It could also be that the steering servo is faulty.
Just a couple things to check and just my
worth. I could be wrong, who knows.

check your servo arm on the steering servo, you may have knocked it out by a few splines. Either that or you have broken/bent/damaged some of your steering componants.

Back on topic.
It may be a few symptoms. First, your steering servo may not have enough torque to turn. Check all the gears just to make sure. If there's nothing wrong, check your EPA (End Point Adjustment) to make sure that they are set to turn the wheels at the most. Make sure that when you put on your servo arm, your servo is set to neutral so there is an even amount turning left and right. You can make the little adjustments later. If it takes a while for your steering servo to turn to it's fullest, it could be a matter of speed and torque. If everything seems okay, it's probably just when you turn while you're throttling. As you throttle and turn at the same time, you will have a wider turn than you will when you throttle at lower speed. If this is the problem, ease on the throttle for more sharper turns.
