you chek the steering trim? check the bearings on the right side .. might need to readjust the servo horn.

 

[BIG DADDY 808]

thanks,the steering trim is ok,and the servo arm is centered , which bearings are you refering to?

 

[maximusraylius]

the bearings in the wheels... oil the bearings maybe itll help.. also is the toe in correct? the angle of the tires they look the same on the right as they do on the left?

Thanks for the help maximus,i'll try the bearings and double check the toe, Aloha! from Hawaii!

no problem hope you get it fixed... happy bashn..

with enough power it will pull to the side when you hammer the throttle but once you are going it should go straight if not check what max said and check to make sure all 4 tires are straight if not adjust the turnbuckles. hope this helps

yes when i got my x the one front tire wasnt aligned propely so it drifted bad to the right a bit of adjusting of the turnbuckle fixed the problem!!

Mine pulls to the left slightly, not off the line but at WOT when already at some speed and its been driving me crazy trying to figure it out lol didnt think to check wheel bearings. Doh!! lol checked everything else.

I have a brand new set of wheel bearings sitting around that i bought some time ago so il chuck those in and see if that makes any difference.

I guess if a bearing on side is causing some resistance itl make it pull to that side??

Cheers Max!

you may have to balance the tyres

it might not just be the wheel bearings,it could be the diff bearings as well.

Mine did turn out to be the wheel bearings, replaced them and no more pulling, the left rear inner bearing was really stiff, dunno maybe some grit or somethig had got into somehow and killed it.

Not sure if its really visable but neither of my front wheels are straight
