Success!
 

After 5 days of building an tinkering and troubleshooting, I finally have my AE FT RC18T built and functioning properly!

The only problem left to solve is why when going half throttle it goes perfectly straight, but when at full throttle it turns to the left.

Thanks to all those who helped me with my problems.

amazing car but ma god who painted ur body? a drunk baby?

Haha, it was my first attempt at liquid mask, and I put it on a little thick so it was gummy when cutting and hard to get a straight line.

man just buy spray paint and tape and ur set but the car looks amazing btw (i dont see why u just didnt buy a car LOL)

One question, my back left tire leans out to the left a lot, but Ive shortened the corresponding turnbuckle as short as it will go and it hasent broight the top of the tire in at all.

Also, do my front tires look alright?

Does an yone know why when going half throttle it goes perfectly straight, but when at full throttle it turns to the left.

And I didnt buy the RTR because I wanted the FT parts. And I thought a kit experience would be fun. I thought wrong.

Where are the titanium turnbuckles?

GREAT LOOKING SIDEWINDER STICKERS!!!!!!!!:nod:

What type surface are you running on when it pulls to the left? Make sure you have the sub trim set straight at very low speed......:batman:

Dont ask.

It was just on asphalt. I have the trim set so that it goes perfectly straight when going slow, but as soon as I punch the throttle it cuts to the left.

Did they break? How?

I only ask becasue steel will bend while bashing, and titanium wont!

If your not gonna use your titanium you can send them to me!:nod:

1) Impossible (or you used the wrong length turnbuckle)

2) Hard to tell from that angle, but it's something you need to measure so it has somewhere about -2 degrees of camber on the front wheels and 0 degrees on the rears. A little bit of toe out helps the truck track straight and not be quite as reactive to steering input.

3) That is a phenomena most often referred to as "torque steer," something inherent of all shaftdriven RC cars and part of the reason why larger scale touring cars using belt drives.

4) Part of the hobby-grade RC experience is actually working on the cars, whether buidling or maintaining them. Ignoring it or relying on rtr's is for little kids and rookies. Real RCers prefer to build and customize their own.

I broke a couple whilst experimenting on how to take a turnbuckle off:blush::eek::sweat::confused::cry::p:weird:

Im ordering a bunch of spare parts soon so Ill get some more lol.

Impossible? What is?

Read your question, slowly if need be, and then my corresponding answer.

Just curious, but dang you are impulsive - how old are you anyway?
