adjust the steering trim on the top. its next to the antenai hole.

Nothing happened when i did that... I'll have to try it again after work tho

Also, make sure that both front wheels are spinning freely. If you have lint, hair or something else causing a wheel to drag, the car will spin in circles til you fix the problem.

Ok, I got it...it's opposites...R for Left and L for right...that's mine at least ?!

wait...now when i turn it off and then back on it goes back to where it was earlier...i don't know what's going on...

The trims will reset to original when you turn it off. Just remember how many times you had to push it and it's only a minor inconvenience.

You adjust the trim with the L and R buttons. Which one depends on what side you place the wheel of the controller.

i know it sets back to the original setting but it was working fine earlier, why the sudden change?!

you can re- center it like a normal RC. Just take the horn off the servo, and put it on in the right spot while the transmitter and car are on, with no centering setting.

Well that's what it looks like I'll have to do , because now when I press the buttons I hear it move but nothing happens, in my hand watching it to make sure it moves or on the ground while driving it... So yea how exactly do I re-center it. Thx again for the help

Anyone there to help ?

You take apart the front end, take the horn off the servo, turn on the car and controller, line up the arrow on the horn with the mark on the servo and screw it back on. This is not hard to do at all. I did it in 4 minutes.

I know it seems simple but what are all of these parts that you're explaining...

dragon4450 · #14 10-22-2003, 01:21 AM

if you take apert the front end you will see a little white arm(horn) that is sitting in the steering arm. just unscrew the screw that is connecting it to the servo(part that steers the car). then turn the car on and the controler, then just put the whit arm back on so that it is pointing straight down and screw it back in.

ok i have the front wheels off and i just unscrewed it, turned it on and lined it up . I screwed it back on and turned it off then on and it still returns to being turned to the right...did i miss a step???

ok hold on... if i have the horn somewhat up and down it's fine but if i have it to the left or to the right it stays that way... do i need to have the wheels straight when i turn it on or is mine just messed up???
