I have peculier problem that i just cant get a half decent turning circle with my monster. I find that to get it any where near the tyres rub on the front wishbones. For example. IF i turn right the left hand wheel inner side scrubs on the wishbone. This has 2 downsides. No 1 it locks the front wheel so it skids. No 2 naff steering. The steering stops seem to do little also. Do i need toe in on the front end??? Maybe i got to much or not enough. I don't know. Please nothing complicated about set up just a rough idea would do. Like should it be visual the toe in amount???????? Also would to much toe in on the back make any odds?????

Thanks

PS I know the monster doesn't turn as well as the Marder but im sure in the past it was never as bad as it is now. Servo workin fine also. Hitec 5745MG.
I have alloy elcon front arms. They are identicle shape to the standard plastic ones.
 
Basic things to try.
(Look at the side of thefront wheel, draw an imaginary horzontal line)
With most off road cars the toe out should be roughly 5 to 8MM more at the front when you measure between the inside of the tyre (see pic)

if you've got castor clips on your wishbones, move the lower wishbone fully forward and the top one fully back.

You could try using the touring car type axles on the front (the ones with 2 circlip grooves) which would allow you to fit the 17mm drive blocks and that might give you a bit more clearance
