Jitter is a very common thing on xmods some have more then others but most have some. It can also be made worse by adding more power to the board

Almost every xmod has this problem, it is very common and doesn't really effect the steering while driving. Or at least it doesn't from my experiences.

there are steering adjustment buttons on the top of the remote, hit one of them a couple times in either direction and it usually helps until you turn it off and back on again but then just do it again.

Do you have actually know what your talking about or talking out of your rear end ? Making the screws tighter won't do anything. Let alone loosen it. Honestly, dude, please research your stuff before you talk. Someone could have thier board fried because of you.

Back on topic, like stated before, it's normal. You should have no problems driving it normally. So I wouldn't worry about it.

Default Fixed i think

I think I got a fix. Take off the front cover exposing the front diff. Put some tape on the tabs that put pressure on the servo. That seems to work for my chassis. The servo seems to move more that it should without the tape.
