yes the servo is brand new.
Tires are new and look symmetrical.
If I put the car on a stand and hit the throttle the wheels spin evenly no wobble. Servo

I need a little help from any D07 owners. I build my car everything went together great.
I cannot get it to drive in a straight line. It inconsistently wanders left, goes pretty straight then seems to turn right. I stop, look at everything, then try to get it to go across the kitchen floor straight along the lines of the tile floor but then it goes left.
I adjusted trim levels on transmitter, checked the car on a set up station everything is perfect. Turn buckles measured with vernier calipers, all looks good.
The set up sheet calls for +1 toe angle, so means the wheels should slightly toe out right?
I thought maybe I messed up the rear diff, maybe it pulls to one side, so I took off the rear drive belt so back wheels spin freely, but still the car seams to wander left and then right, with front wheel drive only.
Does slight toe out make the front end wander, could the spool make the front tires not track straight?
Brand new out of the box, never wrecked, I build the chassis on a piece of glass so I think it is flat not tweaked.
My first touring car, so I guessing here.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any suggestions you have

I had the same question many years ago as I ran my car on polished concrete, Paul Lemiux had the same explination and I suspect nothing has changed, providing nothing is broken or loose on the rest of your car.

This could be it.
Do you guys run toe out on your touring cars?
On my off road cars i have always run just a touch of toe in so that each wheel points towards the center, less wander better tracking since the wheels both point to the center.
The VBC set up calls for toe out maybe that make it wander

I have a question on the suspension block spacers (sorry if that is the wrong description), what exactly do they do. If I put the 1mm spacers under the blocks what does it do compared to the .5mm spacer?

I need some setup help as I am looking to gain corner entry steering. I am currently running Ryan Maker's basic asphalt setup with a couple of changes. First, I am running the F00 front block so no arm sweep, second I am running 2.5 degree of rear toe, and finally I am running 5K in the diff. At the race this weekend it just looks like the faster guys are able to drive in deeper and just turn, where as I would have to tap the brakes and still slow down sooner to make the same turn. Thanks for any help.
Forgot to mention that I am running on medium grip asphalt.

There are lots of things you can try. Go +1 degree toe out in the front. Lower the front by .5mm or raised the rear by .5mm. Move the front shock out one hole on the shock tower. Just a little more drag brake. Lighter diff fluid like 4000. Have a body that is mounted a bit more forward. Move the front arms back by .5mm. All of these changes should give you a bit more steering. Of course don't make all of these changes at once. Try one at a time.
