MY Rc10 favors left turns

Post by KScanvas »

Hey i gotta question for any one too answer. My Rc10 is favoring left turns, I have already adjusted the steering servo, and the and the switch on my transmitter. But it will barely turn right. Waht i notice is the arm on the left side is rubbing the body and pulling on it. So do just shorten that spot, or is there somethinng else i can do

Thanks a bunch should have so me pics by tomorrow

Just race it on a dirt oval, it will be fine.

















Trim the body, and check for a ball stud hanging on the chassis

i had the same problems when i rebuilt mine and ran it the first time. Turned out that that one of the plastic pieces on a ball joint was super stiff, and also my servo horn was not as tight as it was supposed to be.

well unfortunatly that is not the case, on mine they're rather worn in. In truth whet i really need too do is just by new old parts. Im trying too find a set of original front and reare tires but the prices im coming across are a little steep. i fond a whole screw replacement set as well, cuz i know i need some of them as well. And im trying too get some tranny and engine grease. Ive took it apart and put it back together, and still have more things that need too be tweaked arond. Looking at everyone elses rc10s i know quite a bit mre then i did. So hopefully ill get back too prestin conditoin before too long

The best bet on steering fix is to remove to servo horn center all your adjustments on the tx. Then make sure the the distance from the steering linkages to the horn is correct so the at the servo horn can move forward and back in the full travel of your servo. If it still doesn't turn correctly than you may have a bad servo that doesn't want to center under load. That would be the next thing I would check/replace. Good luck have fun!
