How Do You Center a Steering RC Car?

Centering your steering remote control (RC) car is an important step in keeping your car running correctly. If your car is not centered, it can cause the wheels to wear unevenly and ultimately lead to poor performance.

Fortunately, centering a steering RC car is not difficult, and can be done in just a few steps.

Step 1: Begin by ensuring that your RC car is on a flat surface. This will help ensure that the centering process will be accurate. Power up the RC vehicle and make sure that it moves freely.

Step 2: Next, take off the body of the RC car. Depending on the type of car you have, it may be necessary to use a screwdriver or other tool to remove the body from the chassis. Once you have removed the body, locate the two screws that adjust each wheel’s alignment and loosen them slightly with a Phillips head screwdriver (or Allen key).

Step 3: Now grab hold of one of the wheels and slowly turn it until it stops at its center point. Then measure from each side of the wheel to make sure each side is equal in distance from center point. If one side appears to be longer than another, adjust accordingly until both sides are even.

Step 4: Once you have found center on each wheel, tighten down both screws securely so they don’t move while you drive your RC car around. After you have finished tightening all screws, replace the body back onto your RC vehicle and power it back up to test if everything works properly.

Conclusion: Centering your steering RC car doesn’t take much time or effort – just make sure that you follow these simple steps carefully and accurately for best results! With just a few adjustments and some patience, your RC vehicle should be running smoothly again in no time!
