AWD Steering........

I heard of problems but i didnt see any solutions when i searched..... I installed rechargeables and bearings in my car and ran it today and i either ran the tires off the rims or i flipped the car about every other turn. So i installed awd , but i cannot get the damn thing to steer worth a shit anymore. it will turn one way fine ( even flip still ) but the other way it doesnt really turn at all.... i tried adjustin the lft/rt steering buttons on the controller but to get it to turn the one way ok it makes it so far to that side that it veers heavily to that side when goin straight ( and then hard to turn the original good way ). So whats the solution? Scrap the awd?

Make sure the servo horn is in the correct slot on the steering rod and that the steering rod isn't bend or jammed on a pebble or anything.

It also might be that one wheel isn't spinning freely. Hair, debris, over-tightening of the wheel nut.

Your diff might be installed incorrectly. I know I've had problems with the axles and the "D-shaped" ends fitting into the diff. Try making sure that both sides are all the way into the diff.

A bad bearing?

Bent axle?

Try that.

maybe one of your front wheels are on too tight.
also tighten the rear diff, use the stock one in the rear.
hmm

maybe those will work. the side you turn that the car flips, loosen that wheel it mawbe too tight.
