So, I'm almost done building my first RC, the Tamiya XV-01.  My issue now is that the car always pulls to the right when moving forward.  When I go reverse, it's fairly straight.  I can't seem to figure it out.  I'm not sure if it's something on the car or the electronics.  Any help would be appreciated.

Have you run it over a setup station to check all the cambers are correct?

Just measuring the turnbuckle arms will not give you even left to right camber, the car isn't that precision. if it's out by 1 degree on one wheel the car will pull to one side, and turn one way better than the other.

Even on TRF Chassis you can't rely on the even turnbuckle lengths.

Yeah, first thing I did was recheck all the turnbuckle arms.  I wasn't sure what else I could check as I'm quite new to this.

What tools would you recommend that I need to create a setup station?  Camber gauge?

Ive had pretty good results with a set of skyrc 1/10 set up wheels, a camber gauge and a cutting mat to set up my cars. You can turn the camber gauge on its side and use it adjust toe angle aswell. I line up the chassis with the lines on the cutting mat and go off of that with the gauge.
