Unhappy Problem with skyline steering

When i turn the wheel and then straighten it out it sounds like it is still trying to steer and the wheels shake slightly when i stop, but as soon as i start to move it stops. Does anyone know how i can fix this??

Is your car turning correctly when you drive it? Does it go straight when you do not move the steering wheel?

The steering servo will center itself when you turn the car on. It makes a hum and the front wheels stutter if they are not straight. Is this what you are talking about?

do you have another xmod or a friend with another xmod. b/c i noticed my skyline was being weird and it seemed like i was having interference or something, and some times it wouldnt turn right at all. so i swaped the crystals with my civic remote and then tryied driving the skyline and it ran perfect. so i went to radioshack and told em i want another remote and mine is broken and they are sending a new one for free.

Mine does the same thing. I don't know what is causing it. It will stop if I start t move forward. By the way, I drive a Skyline too.

if the wheels arent moving dont worry about it. mine does it too. if you take if off the ground/floor does it stop? try gently to turn the front wheels it should hum a bit. is that the sound you're talking about? and where are you driving it?
