Adjusting tracking on RC car.
Discussion
Hi,
Bit of a numpty question but I'm nervous of adjusting something that I shouldn't be adjusting.
The car only runs straight when the steering trim is set at 9 0'clock - 0 is 12 0'clock.
I've tried searching the web and it seems to keep refering to a camber guage, adjusting toe-in.
Looking at the track rods I can't see any way to adjust them (traxxas bandit)
Is it:
a) not worth bothering with - leave as it is.
b) take it to a model shop and get them to do it.
c) buy a camber guage.
Cheers

This is where I'm getting confused - as I know they are 2 different things but I can't find anything else relating to tracking other than people adjusting camber.
Looking at the car, the camber links are non adjustable - which won't sort my problem out anyway. Which only leaves the turnbuckles - which I'm reluctant to mess with in case I'm left with a car that only drives in circles!!

All you need to do is align the steering servo properly.
1) Set the trim on controller to zero with the power on
2) remove the plastic servo horn from the steering servo (only undo the nut on the top of the servo).
3) Straighten wheels and then push servo horn back on servo.
4) Tighten servo horn screw.
After this you should only need to adjust the steering trim by small amounts
