Greg's right, you look like you have a little too much toe-out there......unless it needs to be like that for drifting?? Your ackerman angle is too much, try and connect the steering arms to the outer hole on the steering knuckle. It looks like you have it on the inner one.
If you can turn either front wheel as easily as that, your diff has either worked itself loose, or it's broken.
If you have a manual, take the front diff apart and rebuild it according to the instructions, assuming you have got a front diff and not a spool which I believ the TB03D has. If that is the case, there is a problem with the meshing of the ring and pinion gears. The TB03 diffs are pretty easy to check, you just have to unbole the suspension mount, and four bolts hold the top diff half on.....its a little difficult to see exactly what is wrong there, but certainly your steering geometry needs some work....

I think gerg was right, the toe-out thing was the main problem. When I adjusted the steering arm the right wheel is not stopping anymore when it's in full steer. But I think I still need to figure out how to make some fine tuning on my steering geometry like what andy said. I just don't know how. I'll try to get to the drift meet so you guys can check out my kit.. Thanks for all your help guys. At least now my car is drifting close to normal and I can play with it and practice on my drifting skill..

im no expert in drifting .... but as far as what i've seen with the guys ..... if your not set up for counter steer or overdrive ..... its ok to have all four corners at zero toe and camber angles ..... cool

if i recall correct ... jay's TB Evo has all his angles set at zero ..... same as jebjeb's TA-03F ...

saves you uneven drift tire usage as well toetap5

If you turn the front right wheel, does the left move in the same direction? Does it move in the opposite direction? Can you hold one wheel still and turn the other? If the answer is yes to the above....you have a differential installed.

If you hold one front wheel and cannot turn the other, you have a spool/locked diff.

Knowledge of this could help with some of your other questions...

The fact that your steering is more 'normal' now will have helped the dogbones from binding....straighten everything out. Do you have a manual?

If not....http://www.tamiyausa.com/pdf/manuals/58420ml.pdf....

You may have to paste that in to your browser, Tamiya dont like external links to their site.

Steps 1&2 are important for your diffs.

Steps 17&18 are stock steering and work well for a beginner.

I thought so too.....but there are some parts of his video that it looks (sounds) like one front wheel still spinning after the other....

I have a front one way installed. When I turn the right wheel in front counterclockwise all the wheels turns with it, but when I turn it to the other direction it's the only one spinning. Compared to the left front wheel, by spinning the wheels frontwards, the right wheel has a shorter freewheeling than the left. I have have a manual Andy, I will go through the part that you advised and follow what it says as soon as I get home. Thanks guys.. I'll post an update tomorrow.

Yep, you have a problem with the front one-way (if in fact it is a one-way). The one-way catch bearings sometimes just clog up, in which case take it out and clean it with carb spray, add a little lube and put it back. Sometimes the whole bearing and cage unit blows itself up...

Finally, I got the kit up and running. Still have some minor flaws.. but I hope I'll be able to figure all of them out later. Got the chance to drift with the guys yesterday at area2. Some of them checked out the kit and say it's ok. My kit was actually a very good one, I just have to buy one important hop up from RCmart, but unfortunately Ian told me it has been out of stock for a very long time now.. I really need to buy a new driver for my kit. Coz when they are driving my kit, it's a champion drifter. :-D

Thanks guys for all the help!
