Hi everyone,

I'm new on this forum but am really pleased that I've found it. I had a Tamiya Hornet as a kid and, well, it was perhaps third hand and pretty battered by the time I had it. It didn't last long unfortunately, I think it had seen better days well before I had the chance to ramp it off the pitch & putt on Matlock park

Anyway, I've recently decided to get hold of a new one and last week won one on eBay. I got the whole kit, fully built and only driven twice in two years along with charger, battery, unpainted (!!) shell and a few other bits and bobs. Needless to say, I love it.

One little problem, though, is that I can't for the LIFE of me get it to stay in a straight line. The servo arm is returning to the neutral position (straight down) pretty much all the time. The only time is doesn't is when I stop the car and its wheels are angled. I figure that's normal.

But despite my best efforts, if I get the wheels straight and put the joystick up, the car always veers off to the left hand side. I've tried tweaking the trims (I think that's what you call them?) but just can't get it right.

Anyone know what I should be looking at?

Oh, I'm Tim, by the way. I live in Aldercar. I'll hopefully get down to your track at some point!
