it doesnt make sense that fitting the servo the way the manual says should result in it steering back to front, grrr [:@]

its an easy fix, but it doesnt make sense!

dont' know why nubus's car keeps breaking. hes not hitting anything hard. i did run it over a few times with my clod but it just doesn't seem as strong as a normal tt-01 should be.

Just went to the LHS and ordered a few parts for the TT-01. Should have a new prop shaft, shocks and bearings in the next few days.

My little car will no longer be stock.

What does steering "Back to Front" mean?

Why not just reverse the servo within the TX, that is what it is designed to do?

We just had the biggest turnout for our local TCS TT-01 race. We had 28 cars racing, not all cars stuck around for pictures.
25 cars made this photo.

We are a very Diverse group of racers.

TT-01 Getting some airtime!!


[link=http://www.rosecityracers.com]OUR LOCAL CLUB[/link] had no idea how popular and how fast this car would grow our club. We love the TT-01.

my point is, it should steer the right way if ive set it up as the manual says (which i have).

the fact that only me has this problem worries me, i use a Futaba S3004 which is pretty common, so how come i'm the only one with issues?
