Lots of good advice already in this thread
If you have the manual it's best to just build the car to the factory settings. To be honest a TC is easier to go in a straight line than a GT12 as long as everything is working fine.
Shiny top man lists the main steps to do when at home with the cars.
check your belt tension, the front belt should be able to move about 1cm before it gets tight on 17.5 otherwise you will be creating a lot of drag. The rear should be around the same tension. Also slow the cars down more with a smaller pinion, it doesn't matter if you are slower at the moment, you just need to get to the end of the race.
Another thing to check is the steering assembly, if it's tight it will restrict the servo's ability to centre properly, it will also make the servo saver spring stretch which will in turn just make the car wander instead of going straight.
TC's are great, we have a lot of new drivers racing TC's at our club with the youngsters practising in smooth car parks etc when not at the club. You will soon click with it, just do not put too much pressure on yourself. Plus it sounds like the club is good as you are getting some great help, just listen and learn.
