Default Radioshack Hummer problems

I recently had a Radioshack Hummer given to me by a buddy of mine. It works great it is 4wd with thr option of 2 or 4 wheel steering. there is one problem with it. That is when I drive it it does not want to turn right, when not moving the right wheel is slanted in and other one is straight. Anyone know what this could be? I will post some pictures.

something broke...

go to your local hobby shop and look if they have used sales for higher end off road vehicles... you'll have some better luck with durability.

Thank you for your reply I have it completely apart and I see nothing that i can see that is broken, could it me that the servo arm is bent? I also have a 1/10 nitro buggy on its way, but I was thinking of selling all my electric cars but I don't want to rip someone off by selling something that is broken.

Default Well

In his defense I have the lower model, 2 wheel steering H2 hummer. And about a year ago I had a buddy buy a 1/16 2wd Traxxas something, of course he talked highly of his $200-$300 investment. It was at that point a bet was made and the Hummer was drug out from storage. Damn wheels had flat spots 😂
But I equipped it with a 20v black an decker decker drill motor, and a 18v Ryobi battery pack only info I have of the 2 mods. Throttle is all or nothing, didn't for see the motor break either. But after only loosing the race by a measly c*nt hair, I'd say it's a nice little "Toy" grade freebie. After I reposition and set up for this massive 27 or 28t sprocket it may keep the front down, and have a little extra top end next race. Currently has a 21t gear mounted on motor.

This is a 13yo thread about radio shack rc cars. That's a serious bump.
