Its me again lol I broke my a arm today and now that i changed it I can't get the trim right it don't want to turn very well to the side the a arm was on. Any ideas thanks.
 
Ok ..... I tried that and that's not it. Does the thing thats like a Tie rod end need to be in any special place? This is driving me nuts lol
 
Compare everything to the side you DIDNT take apart. You may have put somethign in the wrong place.

What is the problem? is it not going straight or is it not responding well to comands?
 
If you're talking about the rod that attaches between the steering knuckle and the steering servo assembly then yes, the tie rod looking thing is a tie rod. It does have to be at a specific length, hence the threads on both ends. Thr left and right sides should match to get the truck to track straight. By adjusting both sides equally you can adjust the toe in/out. different levels of toe in/out causes the truck respond differently to steering inputs. Also after wreck make sure nothing else was damages such as a hinge pin or bulkhead or bent tie rod.

Ok again thanks everyone I now have a few more things to go check out and try before I take it to the hobby shop. Again thanks very much!
 
I ended up taking it to the hobby shop and it really shows how new I am to this lol. It ended up being the servo saver. So after a quick change everything works great. Me and a couple buddies had a great day of driving. A thank you to everyone that tried to help me. I know I will get to know more about my T-Maxx as I go.
 
When it comes to this hobby, ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS try to fix it yourself. So at least you tried and glad you got it fixed
 
Yes its one of those things that now I know What a servo savers is next time I will check that first lol. And yes it definitely did its job. The guy at the hobby shop didn't charge me for anything but the part so that was cool.
