A few people have recently said they are experiencing steering related issues with their RC Cars. In this tutorial I show you the steps needed to diagnose and fix the issue. This will work for both electric and nitro RC's!

Awesome. I’ll be doing this when I put my front end back together. As usual, great content and keep up the good work! 😎

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks :)

When are you uploading again?

[@TheRCBiker]

Just been a bit busy lately, then we have another lockdown, and now it's middle of winter too with rubbish weather! not the best combination

[@narrowempress1625]

@@TheRCBiker please don’t stop uploading because I love your channel and I am subscribed. It’s now summer for me as I live on the other side of the world to you.I went bashing yesterday ruining an almost new hpi vorza’s chassis and the wheel came off the hub carrier and snapped a pullstart because it was rubbing on the side of the body too much.

[@jetboxtm4038]

Hello, I own a Maisto Rock Crawler 6x6, it seems to steer more to the right, any way to try to center the direction? Thanks

[@nhansme]

Great info 👍👍 Have a great weekend mate...!!!

[@TheRCBiker]

Thanks, you too!

[@ragingrac3ryt894]

Ok can you do this with a Losi I have a Losi Camaro and THIS is my problem

[@purpledonatello]

Could you do a video the throttle linkage? I'm little confused why there is a spring there?

[@b-luv339]

The spring is so the linkage does not bind after applying full brake. It just ensures that the throttle doesn’t open up when the servo is returning to neutral.

[@TheRCBiker]

I will add it to the list : )

[@joshrhodes6374]

I’ve recently just bought a koyosho 3.0 st I’m looking for tips on the best way too tune it any advice would be appreciated

[@TheRCBiker]

Lots of tuning videos on my channel :)

[@Mark-wx1ho]

I have a new Hyper 7 TQ2. Turned it on this morning and the steering servo went full left lock. It does not respond to the transmitter. If I swap the servo wiring, the throttle works the steering fine but then the throttle servo goes max. I have tried rebinding with no luck. Any ideas as this is driving me mad. Car is unusable at the minute. With the receiver wired correctly, if I press the channel 3 button on the transmitter the steering servo then goes opposite lock. So Channel 2 is being operated by channel 3? Very weird.

[@Mark-wx1ho]

All sorted. I had wired the receiver up incorrect. Put the power in the wrong slot. Weird. Anyway, all sorted.

[@TheRCBiker]

Glad it's sorted :)

[@Mark-wx1ho]

@@TheRCBiker Me too. I was getting angry then realised that it was all my own fault.

[@Sreettu]

@@Mark-wx1ho my Arrma typhon 6s blx has a similar problem too can you tell if there is a way too fix it?

[@jaimeligot7215]

Going to try this. Thank you!

[@plewsford]

Got a question for everyone. White writing on a nitro engine cooling head. Over time it's become discoloured, but not the head itself. I've always kept the temps about 100c or lower. Has the head got too hot, or would the writing have become discoloured through any temp range and use? I've ran a good 1.5 gallons fuel through the engine since new.

[@TheRCBiker]

That is quite normal, it is most likely nitro fuel and oil spillages have just worn the writing off over time. Likely to be unrelated to heat

[@plewsford]

@@TheRCBiker Thanks for the reply. Since sending the post, I've had a look at the cylinder head and it looks ok. The white writing on the cooling head has come up a bit better with a cloth and a squirt of WD40. 👍

[@Tom-kk6kx]

How do you tell a hyper 7 Mach 28 from a Mach 21?

[@TheRCBiker]

Because it will say on the heatsink what the engine size is

[@Tom-kk6kx]

It just says hyper 3 port

[@narrowempress1625]

What does the pullstart cover say?

[@kyemarshall2]

I just got my first nitro rc car. I bought it second hand but the guy said it was running and showed proof. I’m going to prime the engine and realise no fuel is running through the lines. I was using the finger over the exhaust method. It is a pull start Hyper 7 TQ

[@S.carr.c]

Extro pull the line of the exhaust that is going to the fuel tank and give it full throttle and blow into the line going to tank from the exhaust and it will push fuel from tank to carburetor

[@TheRCBiker]

yes, as sebi said below, remove back pressure line from exhaust and blow into it. There's probably just an air lock.

[@kyemarshall2]

@@TheRCBiker Discovered that the fuel cap was leaking air therefore not holding any pressure for the fuel to get to the carb. Managed to get it fixed and running.

[@CaliforniaPhantom]

God I hope you get your silver play button soon

[@TheRCBiker]

Been a long time coming!

[@robertjesse1022]

I just bought a hyper nitro 8.5 buggy, its been sitting in storage a few years and Im trying to bring it back to life (its in bad shape). This is my first nitro rc car, Im a little nervous about restoring it. I've got so many questions to ask you

[@TheRCBiker]

Ask them then and I will try to answer! : )

[@robertjesse1022]

@@TheRCBiker there is a traxxas dealer here, are there parts compatible with this car? What parts need lubrication? How do you know which shock oil to use? I ordered a transmitter & receiver not sure it is compatible with existing servos

[@robertjesse1022]

@@Intelcroa Thank you! I think I was freaking out over nothing! My transmitter & receiver just came in yesterday, popped the receiver in, centered the servos and got to run it for the first time. The most fun i had in a long time. I did notice there was a lot of wear on the inside of the tires, thinking I need to adjust the turn buckles.?

Hsn 2.5 turns out, idle gap in car 1-1.5 mm. Just a starting point. Turn counter clockwise until it starts.

[@iFlyWayHigh]

@@punisher4312 for my car it is flush. You could try 3 turns out.

[@punisher4312]

@@iFlyWayHigh ok thanks you so much I will try it

[@iFlyWayHigh]

@@punisher4312 just be careful with lsn, I have heard if it turned out to much it may not be able to fitted back in. Nor sure how true that is, but just try 3 turns or flush which ever comes first. Once it gets started you adjust from there as me needed. Good luck
