Default Steering issues (car pulls to left)

So I'm wondering if somehow I ruined the suspension when I put the wheels on. Ever since I assembled this it pulls to the left (driver side). I had a hell of a time getting those little tiny wheel lugs to actually screw on the front. Here's some pictures, I think if I blow them up you can see that it looks like it's off just a little, any way to fix this? I was thinking of getting the AWD upgrade, would that replace the front suspension pieces? If so I won't even worry about fixing this.

try adjusting it with the buttons on top of the transmitter one is labeled "R" (right) and the other is "L" (left)
if your car pulls to the left, press "R" a few times
if you car pulls to the right press "L" a few times

I don't think the problem is on your suspension; like winner said; try getting your steering straight by pressing on the STEERING TRIM buttons on the top of your transmitter. I have to press the left button about 4-6 times to get it going straight. (most xmods; if not all; have that little issue, irrelevant to the matter, really)

I know there's a way to calibrate your steering servo on evo chassis, I don't remember where I saw it but I'm pretty sure there's gotta be a TUT about it somewhere in this forum.

On GEN-1's all you gotta do is remove the steering tab from the servo and turn on the car and transmitter, once the servo resets, all you gotta do is align the tab to the steering rod and screw in the little screw.

AWD will improve handling, and I usually take it asn a "MUST" upgrade to my xmods. I'd suggest you get it anyways

Well I just took it back to work and swapped it out, I think I just got a defective one, comparing them side by side you could see the chassis was a little bent comparatively. The new one works great.

The problem with manually calibraiting it was that i'd make slow huge turns to the right and super turns to the left.

but it's all good now, I got a whole new car.

Yeah, I've had that issue too; not the steering whacking out but the chassis being bent and making the driveshaft grind .

I'm sure sending mine off the 2nd story of my apartment didn't help it at all
