Every other car I ever had always had too much steering. Currently I am at 100% Dual rate and 150% right travel.

I am going to go through the car tonight to see if I can find any reason this is happening.

Any insight on where to start would be great,


Thanks

I had some simular issues, then when fitting a new low profile digital servo, I made a real effort to sort it out, in the end it comes down to position of the servo horn (look carefully how the manual shows it), and getting that linkage the right length etc.

Tweaked mine also in a setup station once done, and now I have perfect steering throw left to right (with no real tweaks needed on the radio), and generally more steering than I need at any time, I'll just dial my DR knob on the fly to suit track conditions and how much steering I need on the day.
