i believe the solution is very simple concering the steering switching. look on top of your controller, you will see a switch that says "USER L-R" make sure the switch is set to the same side you have the little wheel on. Adjust your steering trim until the car drives in a straight line

Steering Problem: Change the leftie-rightie setting on the top of your transmitter.

By chance, did you even take a 'peek' at the manual? The manual has the solution to both these problems.

Use the ST trim to align it until you get bearings...

It doesnt have anything to do with the trim, it just the 1 wheel on the front thats Diagonal

set it so that the trim points them both at similar angles. This is called toe-in. It helps with your alignment... Even though we've got 0 degree tie rods, its still off a bit.
