Different steering question

[Robert M]

I've noticed on my Notorious that when I run it in reverse the steering wheels start to slap left, right, left, right by themselves. Rolls straight and true in forward. Nothing is binding and there's no slop/play out of the ordinary. Anyone else have this issue? I'm stumped....

Steering geometry is set up for stable forward driving, not reverse. Also the servo saver will open as the truck starts to whip back and forth with the steering now from the rear. Even full size cars are a lot more unstable driving fast in reverse.

I have somewhat of the same issue when I reverse my car veers to the right and when I go straight it veers to the left.

Is there something that can be done to prevent this from happening? It does not happen on any of my other RC's so I'm left scratching my head.

Tighten the servo saver. Reduce caster angle.
