Have you checked your servo endpoint adjustments? Or what tx are you using?

What length servo horn is that? Is the drag link bolt catching on the underside of the servo? Looks close in the video. |

it looks and if you listen the noise the servo is making it seems likely to be that the drag link screw is touching the servo case because your servo horn is not long enough. i solved this problen by putting a rounded lower profile screw through the drag link/servo horn and a slightly longer horn. it could also be that you need to take your servo horn off and set the steering trim to zero or the middle of the dial and then put the horn back on so that the wheels are set straight with the servo in the middle of it's travel. try the screw/longer horn first then remove the horn and re align if there is still a problem. and clock your chubs back if you havnt already hope this helps |

best I can tell from the video is that your problem is with your left side wheels(oposite the servo) when you watch the right wheel(servo side) it looks at though it is traveling as far as it can in bothe directions. take a look at the drag link that connects the front wheels and makie sure it is not too long nor too short. it looked like the front toe was right in the video but would double checking.

Thats just how the stock geometry is with the steering arm on the knuckle. If you can trace someones vp red steering arm and cut one out of some alum , world of difference ! |
