will that fix my problem w dog tracking and it will drive straight

its not going to drive straight until you have wheels at a the same toe rt to left and a exact toe camber on rear.. I see all 4 wheels having different toe and camber

Is this a zip tie holding your rear arm on???

 

[Corbin]

no that’s for the bumper any ideas y it’s driving on its own now i don’t have a throttle trim btw

Your radio doesn't have a throttle trim?? Never seen that before... um... ever.

Calibrate your ESC. Look in the manual for your truck on how to do that.

Check the bearings. If they have slop, it will transfer.

Another is where the plastic cambers connect, a loose screw or an overly used screw hole can cause play. A nut may help if that the case.

I'm curious if your shock shafts are bent, or if the bottom holding part fell off?

Was it taken apart? If it was, is it possible the arms, caster blocks, or stub axle holders were put on the wrong end or side?

I was also thinking this could be a possibility.

I got a traxxas summit and slash 1/16, and a few sets of other 1/16 arms. Stripped it down to a kit to rebuild and had a headache trying to figure it out. Everytime I pull up traxxas exploded views.

I recommend upgrading it from the stock TX/RX, there are some pretty good ones for under $50.
