You mean they're toe'd in a bit? Does it have adjustable tie rods?

Make your own steering arms with 3mm threaded rod?? or use turnbuckles for adjustability without any disassembly.

the toe in at the front gives a less aggressive steering character , as has been said you can use adjustable tie rods for the steering but be mindful that reducing front toe in or using front toe out will give the car a very aggressive turn in and will tend to spin out ,

no they are the plastic one`s

Like said make some out of 3mm turn buckles and 4.8mm ends www.RCmart.com has a VERY nice selection..

The factory toe-in on the TL01B makes the car go straighter - if they are set parallel, the car tends to skip about a bit more due to the play in the reset of the components - toe out also works, but I don't think it's as good for steering.

In short, it's correct and you probably want to keep it like that, but as the other guys said - get some threaded rod and experiment - you might find a better setting...

I thought the same as you when I got my TL01B but it doesn't wear the front tyres excessively and helps to recentre the car for straight line running. Unless the look really bothers you it's probably best to leave it alone.

TL01B Steering Turnbuckles. They are standard on the HBX clone version of the TL01B.

There's many good upgrades for the TL01B by using these HBX parts. The damper towers are the best upgrade, allowing you to fit buggy length dampers that don't bottom out before the car does, which saves the mount points on the chassis. I have all of their TL01B upgrades fitted to my Baja Champ. I bought a complete buggy at auction for $0.99 but $59 postage and raided all the hopups off it.
