Hi guys,,
I stumpled on this thread while looking for some MTXL related stuff. The turning thing with this truck is related to the radio. I know exactly how it sounds but it is. When I got mine it was a bit of a slog, no matter what I did I could not make it turn evenly and it had the turning radius of an 18 wheeler. It was driving me up against the wall, especially the uneven steering thing. Then I ran into a local champ racer who are also a teamster for Losi and he told me it is the radio and that he had a go.propop with two recivers I could buy for very cheaps.
The guy was right!. In the go propo I can control every parameter down to iota detail and now the truck have a much smaller turning radius and it turns an even amount. The steering is off balance by a lot. I have to set the balance at 40-70% for it to turn evenly. And I have to boost servo outermost position to 150 (default is 100, 150 is pushing it) and then scale back some through the balance settings. But now the truck drives like an absolute dream. The servos are fast and responsive and they have no problems with turning those big wheels
I am sorry that this is the solution, but if you can get a cheap proper radio then do so and become a happy camper with your truck. Fiddling with the servos, remounting horns over and over will just not get you there. Close, but no cigar. This is one of a few bad decisions on Horizons part with this truck.
Another is the piss weak steering link. Just go an change it now, you will have to eventually.
