No matter what I do, car pulls to the left - HELP!
 
My Bit Char-G Celica won't go straight. It pulls to the left. Adjusting the steering with the switch on the bottom of the car does nothing. I've also tried installing rare earth magnets in my steering - made the steering a little snappier, but my car still pulls to the left. How can I fix this?

Mine too...
 
Yeah, I have one that does the same thing...
I was told to adjust the steering spring. But they didn't say HOW! :mad:

Any ideas? :confused:

take off the steering spring , and then see if it looks like the sprngs on ur clones bits or even zip zaps. If not u can always make a temporary spring at www.questformadness.com, i suggest u try it...ive heard people have yielded a plethora of great results.

Before you touch the stearing springs, make sure you check both front tires for lint and hair. Just try spinning them. If one spins better then the other, you found your problem. Bust out the tweasers and pull the lint out.

if you followed all their sugestions and it still wont work, there is a chance that one of your front axles are bent.

adjust the toe-in/toe-out of the front axles but be extreamly careful becasue to much force can break the steering assembly

this link is in japanese but you''ll see the picture on how they tuned the steering toe-in/toe-out. It's the last two pictures in the bottom. The last picture showed the LEFT wheel slightly toed-in then the Right wheel

just do this as a last resort

Thanks
 
Thanks to all for the help. ;)

I checked it wasn't hair or lint... I might have to do the toe-in deal!
