Steering Help
I've been having uber fun with my Efini, but I've run across steering problems. I've been toying with both the steering trim on the remote and the under chassis trim but I still can't procure it. I just find that it turns MUCH sharper left than right. I've tried a hoohah of different tire pattern combos, but it just wont due. I found that it equalizes when the front wheels are angled slightly right, but the car doesnt steer straight then. :(. Any help??
EDIT: Fixed it, and I hope the details below will help others as well. Right now for great handling it is using the grippiest tireset. I cupped my hands with the tires in them, and I let the water from the sink shoot right onto them. It creates a cool looking spin cycle of sorts, and the tires float around very fast in a circular pattern. Then I chucked some dish washing fluid into the combo. After about 3 minutes of that (oh yeah put the faucet strainer on, almost lost a tire to the sink) I stuck em back on. It helped a bunch, but it still had messed up steering. So what I did was set the steering trim back to neutral, and I turned the steering tuning on the chassis about 20 spins to the right. Then about 30 degrees at a time I rotated it back until I had perfect steering. From now on, if I have problems, just go overboard and fix that.
