Exclamation My Titan

I have a Nissan Tiatan Xmod with off road upgrade and thinking about intstalling my 4X4 kit but it has problems the the steering servo spazzes out and starts like shivering. Next the it always turns to the right no matter how many times i click the buttons on the remote it doesn't move to the left any more than before. I want the chassis to turn farther so i can go over bigger bumps.i want shocks to be softer without buying new ones either though. What kind of batteries should i buy? Where can i find good tires for my xmod for mudding and how do find a model car body that fits???Thank You so Much !!!!

i no im being a an idiot but i cant help it so plz dont make fun of me because im confused

sounds like a possible solder issue on the wires for the potentiometer causing the steering issues.
the only way that you can get softer shocks is to get the upgraded springs. you can try cutting a coil out of of the stock springs to get your desired stiffness. but the best bet is the suspension upgrade kit.
good tires for mudding- aoshima super swampers work pretty well for most applications with the xtruck. on road, off road, etc. most model bodies will fit you just have to modify the xmod to get it to fit. most of the time that involves lengthening the chassis.

i'm kind of haing the same problem but i think the batteries aren't strong enough or something. i also have a question i put the off road package and was wondering if i have to put a axle kit on it because the tires still rub against the lift kit upper brace. does any body have any ideas for me to do.

the offroad tires are rubbing? hmm, i dont believe i have had this problem. it might be possible that your stock bushings have enough play they are allowing this. ill look at some of mine again when i get home.

i diddn't see the blue spring but what i did do was strech the stock ones out a bit and the alignment straightened out and as for the tires i thought i mentioned that i put after market tires from mizzi so i think i'm gonna have to go with a axle kit to see how that works. I'm still having problemswith the batteries. any suggestions.

If it only turns right, that means a servo wire snapped off the solder joint. I can fix for $5. Just PM me. Also the servo jitter is caused by a bad solder joint.

did you read the second post at all? it sounds like you have an issue with you potentiometer. thats what controls center on these. if you have a bad potentiometer, or a bad, loose, or damaged wire going to your board it will keep turning one direction. check the small orange, white, and black wires on the front driver side of the chassis.

i would start by checking the pot wires going to the board. try re soldering them.
