Axial Wraith steering linkage issue.

[Jew1028]

I got my whole car put together and was giving it a bit of a test run around my house when I noticed that it was not driving straight when I would go forward, it was curving a little to either side ( with no preference to either side, just randomly). I have looked over the whole car and it is definitely put together right...the conclusion that I have come to is that the steering linkage seems to be just a tad too short. I took the wheels off and looks at the tips of the CVD drive shaft that stick out past the c hubs and when one is straight the other is tilted just a bit. I am wondering if anybody can help me with this problem. Could it be the steering linkage, or is it something else?

Undo your long steering link and unscrew the ends equally and re-install.
Repeat until you have the desired tow on your wheels.
TIP: just like a 1:1 vehicle both wheels turned out a little (Tow-Out) is a desired effect.

A complete mis-matched tow like you currently have obviously creates wander...
But, a complete exact straight in-line match can also create a minimal wander.
A desired setting is a slight Tow-Out
You can also use a slight Tow-In.... But, you may notice it wanting to "push" when turning at faster speeds. "push"... Meaning a tendency to want to go straight instead of respond accurately while turning.

Remember to recenter your steering trim when done adjusting your tow.

I prefer to go with a slight toe-in with my steering. I notice that with my wheels toed in that when it starts to move forward that the wheels straighten out and the vehicle goes straight.
