steering alignment HELP NEEDED!
one of my new MS Pros (the Auto Modellista set) pulls like crazy to the right. i have adjusted the alignment thingy on the bottom on the car to the max - still not nearly enough to keep it straight!
is there anyway i can take apart the front steering and somehow reset/neutral/tune the alignment?
if so, i've never done any kind of messing with the front suspension...anyone got a good how-to with pics or something?
thanks in advance.

to take apart your front end pull the pcb cover off and lift the pcb so you can access the steering cover screw take that out and remove the cover. then take the steering rack out.(its the only remove able part besides the wheels/knuckles) then make sure that your magnet is centered exactly in the middle of its holder. this is what i do when mine dont steer straight. beyond this i dont know what to tell you

thanks for the suggestion...just did it. the magnet seems to be sitting perfectly - so, still no good!
any other suggestions?

I have had this problem also.
The only thing I can suggest(after centering the magnet and double checking that the coils look ok) is that you return it and get another one. I always keep my reciepts now, and if the car wont drive straight right out of the box, it gets returned right away.

actually, i think i just fixed mine!
i checked the magnet placement and before reassembling, i decided to recenter the little alignment lever to a center/neutral position and then reassemble.
looks like that recentered the alignment and lets me now correct the extreme pulling by adjusting the alignment lever - the way it should work.
