your car doesnt go straight because when the car moves it basically pulls the front wheels and that will make them toe out. you need to find the tutorial on fixing that problem and youll be set

Yep, that's a lot of toe-in. Don't worry about it, it's normal.

Toe-In is better for micro vehicles than toe-out, even on my 1:10 scale, I prefer toe-in, I wanna drive straighter! but less steering on the exits of corners though...

Do you have awd? If so that will do it. With awd i cannit tighten my wheel as much and my car doesnt go straight.

Same here but I do not necessarily like AWD. I like speed.
