By the way good info on the diff oils will definitely be experimenting after reading this thread, thanks guys

I'd be surprised if it was a V3. I don't think Caster make an RTR with the new Big Bore shocks. If it comes with white springs it might be. I expect it came with yellow ones which will make it the standard two year old RTR.
Having said that, it's still a good car for the money and can be fully, and I mean fully, upgraded to a full V3 Pro version!
The tracking thing is most likely either dodgy radio or servo or some stiffness or slop in the steering mechanism. Disconnect the steering arm from the servo horn and check two things. Check that the steering is working smoothly with no rough bits or tight bits. Then check that your steering servo is centering every time.
Over time you can add some of the pro bits to the car as you find necessary.
Keep in touch,
Jimmy
