Default wants to steer left

im bashing around a 1/10 losi slider with the intention of racing it. its my first r/c car worth more then $50. I have read my manual front to back 10 times.

the problem is it wants to steer left when im driving in a straight line.

i have checked there is no steering trim on the radio/controller. the front wheels are running a -1 degree camber with a little toe in(dont know exactly how to measure but equal on both side by eye sight) rear wheels running no camber.

any ideas would be awesome

With no trim I think you should tweek the tie rod ends untill running straght. Eye ball line up is OK for now.

What kind of radio are you using that has no steering trim? I just read your signature, you might wanna upgrade the radio before you get a fancy brushless set-up. Going fast isn't gonna be any fun without being able to go straight.

Are you saying that you don’t have a trim adjustment on the radio?

Or that you’ve checked it and it’s centered? If the second just go ahead and adjust it until the car goes straight.

If it's way off then try recentering the servo horn on the servo.

Carefully take off the servo horn and move it one "tooth" to get it to line up a little better. A better radio would help and you don' have to spend a fortune.
