What do you mean by the direction? Are you having problems adjusting the wheel alignment?
 
maby he means when he turns left the truck turns right.. there is a switch on the trasnmitter for that switch the steering one..
 
I just got a pm from him and hes talking about the alignment. You just need to turn the turnbuckles those are the metal shafts that go from the spindle to the steering arm that is what adjust the alignment.
 
Looks like an alignment issue.. You can adjust the front wheel toe-in by turning the turnbuckles (long chrome bars that connect the steering to the knuckles). You'll want to shorten the one that is pointing in. You also may need to adjust the steering servo-saver. It looks like it needs to be clocked on the servo.

Good call HeartBreak, that is the wrong servo horn. You need something like a Kimbrough servo saver. You need to do that first, then align the servo as Smily mentioned, then adjust the turn buckles.
 
Thanks NCNitro - Looks also like he's got it set so that no matter which way he turns, he's goin to get a turn only to one side...

Wootay30 - the steering rod should attach onto the servo at the front-most edge of the servo horn... Even then, you'll want a servo saver on there. Kimbroughs' are about the best you can get. Re-place that round one with a Kimbrough Jumbo-sized saver... When you install the Kimbrough, make sure that it's parralel to the servo, with the tab section forward. Then, if need be (and I suspect it will....) lengthen the steering rod simply by twisting. Make sure that you lengthen it evenly, too... Pair of needlenose pliers and a philips screwdriver are all ya need...

Actually, the toe-in looks fine - looks more like the servo end of the assembly than anything else.
