I'm constantly having to set the trim.
 
What the heck. I just set up my Ft RC18T and no matter what the steering is never centered.

One second Its turning to the left, so I set the trim so it goes straight, next thing I know its turning right. And now I cant turn the trim anymore.

What could be causing this? What can I do to fix it?

The servo as well as the saver that comes with it are pretty much crap. I had the same situation with my 18R I had for awhile. I swapped out the servo for something better and it was way better. Get rid of the stock servo and get something better.

I use the stock servo in both my race cars.(18b and 18r)

If you dremel a small groove into the plastic spring on the servo saver.
Cut a ring out of a stock blue suspension spring(if you have spare springs)
Pop the ring over the plastic servo saver into the groove.

Also a little toe out helps keep it streight to!
