I take it your MRC is brand new, stock setup?
If so, it should be zero toe in/out (i.e. straight ahead).

Toe in is bad for crawlers - it reduces your turning ability and increases turning circle.
I run a tad of toe OUT on mine to increase turning response.

Toe in is good for high speed stability.

Not sure what could be causing your toe in though, as the parts are all rigid plastic, with no adjustments. Check for bent bits (mainly the link and the knuckles' arms).

Double check for loose or missing screws around the steering, maybe a knuckle hingle pin/king pin bolt is loose or missing??

best of luck.

p.s. maybe post some photos,
from above to show toe in problem and setup etc.

Thanks for the reply I'll check all the bolts, and yes it's a stock setup
