Default Any one with truck steering issues READ

Ok please do not cloe this. i want to see if there is a problem in only a certain truck type.

Most truck owners will notice that the steering is messed up. i mean like it will turn right and like no left. I have had 2 titan and it only happened to them my new one is starting to go.It seems that only on the lifted trucks it happenes.

so i am gonna add a pole the optioons are

Hummer=only vote if you have a original hummer this means it was not a long chassie switched to a short one.

F150=f150 chassie and only if it is a original long chassie

Titan=same as the f150 must be a original one.

and mods please do not close i have a feeling this will go some where regarding a extra piece on a certain board

I believe that this has been noticed before. I don't know who brought it up, but I remember there being a link to www.xmodforum.uk and there was a tutorial with it.

there has been a few boards that i have seen that do have a resistor, that extra wiring your talking about. it wasn't so much certain to any board that i have seen. i even had some cars that had them. it does basically the same thing that the tight turns mod does in the gen 1.

Its just a common problem. sand can easily get into the servo area, and stop the gears from turning all the way. I recommend every time you go offroad, like alot of loose dirt or sand, just to clean all the servo gears and the motor gears.

The diffs typically have (thanks to low quality) a bit of bias on how they let the wheels spin in turns. Gen1s were notorious with this from what I remember.

that happened with my evo car, I ran it into the grass and small amount of dirt was in the servo gears and broke several teeth.
