I figured out the problem of the car wandering down the straight. I had too much toe in, a fellow racer told me to try toe out, went ridicules and had a lot of toe out.. and it flew down the straight like it was on rails.

Anyhow, i would like to get the steering sorted. Should i get the servo horn pointed straight down and then adjust turnbuckles to get the wheels straight. At the moment with horn down and turnbuckes of equal length it is several degrees off centre.

these mini's are addictive
Wandering on the straight can be adjusted by reducing the steering exponential (curve) by about 20-30%. Will make it easy to drive. Massive toe out will make the car slow and will turn in VERY hard. I would suggest no toe.

And .. you are thinking about the Mini far too much . Just build and race
