I don't wanna "take a turn to Negative Town" (name the movie) but... you're putting waaaay too much energy into polishing a turd. There's no easy way I can see to make it turn. Creative use of zip-ties though...

|  The best advice I can give you is invest in a TLT.

Give it to Mr. Can  Seriously. Your just wasting time and money into a pile of trash. It's NEVER going to perform to your expectations. You can get a set of clod axles for $80. Go mow a few lawns and rake some leaves to raise the money. |

I would kill myself before driving a POS like that seriously. Looks like you have a good controler and speed control so why would you post pics of it knowing you will get flamed?
