hi mate i think this is called bump steer this may work if you put the toe link bars where they bolt to the hub on the bottom of the hub instead of the top or other way round not sure what way you have them
hope this helps

I find that yelling/cursing at the object of my frustration helps too.

i tend to break things more that are already broke. This applies to everything with me. I either get mad and throw it or if it is RC stuff i think it is already broke a little lets total it and rebuild time.


I fly, I drive, but most of all I crash.

No, I reserve that level of anger for noob posters who ask the questions that have been posted a million times....
