I just got my gf the official tomy bit char g and i have a problem. Her steering adjustment is all the way towards the passenger side of the bit. Well it was this way when we got it new. My question and problem is her car is pulling slightly to the driver side just slightly. Well since the steering adjustment is already the whole way in the way i need to correct it what do i do? Is there a remedy for this? Please help me out fellas i am not stupid i used to race big rcs monste trucks and sedans i am very mechanically inclined thanks in advance. lata

best thing i do is just open up the chassis and take out the steering spring [clean it up with tape if there is junk on it] and then just put it back again..

if you read my post you would see its brand new and the steering adjuster is and was all the way towards the passener side of the bit. And her bit is pulling slighty to the drivers side. Its not doing this cause its dirty its brand new. Anyone that knows how to fix this please help i need to know if i have to open up the steering how to do so and what to mess with inside thanks in advance.

You might try a couple of things before you open it.

Move the adjuster back just a hair. I've heard of this working for people...it's as if you can adjust it TOO far.

Move the adjuster even more to the side. It will lift the little white tab up and out of the normal recessed area, but it may work.

does not matter that it is new....sometimes Sh@T happens. My initial D set was the same way.....I took it apart and put it back together....and now its fine......there ahve been sveral times were out of the BOX I have to immedialty open it up and re-seat everything.....so far I have fixed 3 TOMY cars and killed one like this.....be careful

This is a common problem, usually caused by an off-center magnet. If you are certain that the trim cannot be made to work, you need to open up the front end, and make sure the magnet is perfectly centered, and that neither of the coils are away from their proper places.

I had a strange steering pul on my booster but decided to live with it, until when mounting an extra Battery I snapped two of the steering coil wires(clumsy me) After carefully soldering the ends together I found that my steering has rectified itself. Also has anybody tried to remount the coils further apart by drilling out holes behind them. In order to give a wider steering track?
