Hi i used to have a TL-01 about a year ago but i sold it. I now have another TL-01 but i am having the same problem with this that i had with the other one. The steering seems to be unaligned. the wheels are not parralel. i have had this problem on both of my cars and i cant work out how to fix it. please help ???

in reply to your question,i too have a Tl-01,this is also a question i have raised with my local dealer...he tells my that they are supposed to be toe-ing in to a keep it going in a straight line...this has been proven to me with my own experiments,it tends to wander all over the place.....hope this helps.

Looking down the front wheels from above, they look like this with no toe in:

With toe-in, it looks like this:

/ -


That pic shows a lot of toe-in, about 6degrees. you only need about 1 or 2 degrees.

You can set this with turnbuckle tie-rods.

you may not be able to do this unless you have the turne buckle tie rod set if not its usually set to toe in anyway if its going all over the place then try and adust the stering on the transmitter

Hi Guys,

don't want to state the obvious but the the standard streering arms are set to a degree or two of toe in.
Nothing you can do about it except put the turnbuckle set on and adjust the wheels as suits you best.

I found the the rear Toe in kit helps keep the car solid in a straight line
