The old 27mhz tanks had a trim slider below the right stick to correct for wandering, but from the snippet I saw of your controller you have a newer tank. Slider is a dummy on those the version 6.0
controllers. Not sure about the even later stuff.
Check as Jimster suggests track tension, have a check inside for binding anywhere, and also check that the track isn't jumping a tooth on the drive sprockets. Does is wander on other surfaces like a wood floor or smooth tile?
Mike.
It still happens on surfaces like wood floors and smooth tiles. I checked it once again, and this time there wasn't anything blocking the gears, and none of them seemed to be skipping a tooth, or so I thought. I have provided another link showing what the gears look like. I just noticed that my right sprocket is bent forwards, and I also noticed that the curve lessens when I reset it to the 'factory setting.' Now I'm wondering if the problem lies with the motherboard inside the tank or the remote, or if the gears are bent in the wrong place. If you visit the second link, you'll see that the gears on the left are perfectly straight, but on the right, they're bent.

Thanks for putting up the video. You can see how fast that got you some help. Usually this steering is not a big problem when the tank is mass-produced stock HengLong or Taigen/Torro, so you should be running straight soon. (The "Trim droite / gauche" is obviously "Trim right/left." I know because I am "gauche"--left handed--and not very a droite, i.e., often a klutz.)
Mine is a newer control. I don’t have a trim, it’s only a dummy.

I don’t have a trimmer as my controller is 7.0 or 6.0.

Hello, from the video it seems that you have on the transmitter, a trim adjustment (neutral) small rectangular notched button, below and to the left of the control sticks. In your case, check the one below the vertical stick right, it seems shifted to me? your problem could come from the? as said previous message, check the tension of the track, possibly if not an unscrewed toothed pinion (sprocket)? middle axle, behind pinion cover
I saw it. The right sprocket is misaligned and probably the gears too. I know sure why it’s like this I probably tighten the screw too hard which is under the sprocket cap. Do you know a way to fix these or would I buy a new one like a steel or maybe.

On the TX Heng Long, there are only two trims!!! error on my part, but the one that concerns you is the one in Red on the attached photo, it must be in the center

There is trim adjustments for steering on the 6.0 transmitter. It involves using one of the buttons, possibly G, and control stick one. I will have a look over the weekend if I can find a manual.

V6 and V7 use a button code/combination to trim.
On a V7 transmitter its G button and stick 2 left/right to trim .
Try that & let us know how you go, but for sure, check the running gear components to ensure they are in the correct position.

Yeah it still does the same thing.. it’s not the transmitter or the trimmer I suppose. It’s the misaligned driveshaft and it’s bent upward which causes the right sprocket to be slower than the one in the left.

If you decide to change the gearbox and it sounds like it needs it you really must install gearbox output shaft bearings to prevent it happening again.
