After verifying that the steering direction is correct, set the knob to the center. The servo
horn or arm should be a 90 degrees and the wheels should be straight. If not then make the
horn or arm 90 degrees by removing it and replacing it correctly. If the arm is at 90
degrees and the wheels are not straight, adjust the linkage to compensate. Once you have
these two settings correct, use the steering trim for fine-tuning. Note: Always trim your
car before you run or race. This is a common mistake made by beginners. If you have to
steer your car to go straight, you are fighting a loosing battle. Make sure it tracks straight
before you run it and driving will become much easier.

Dual rates for the steering servo can adjusted via the thumbscrew on the pistol grip. This
adjustment is critical for racers fine-tuning their cars handling “On the Fly”. The rate can
be selected from 40% - 100%. If your car is loose or “Oversteering”, dial the adjustment
back. If your car is pushing or “Understeering”, then dial the adjustment forward. This
adjustment is a must for setting up your car to perform at its best. Adjust the servo so at
100% of travel (the dial will be all the way forward), the servo does not bind. If the servo
binds, adjust the linkage to compensate. (Consult your vehicle’s instruction manual for
proper instructions on the linkage setup)
