It's not something you want to "fix." Toe in helps keep the vehicle aligned and equal power distribution to both rear wheels in high speed straights. Don't know about the Rush, but most RC's have different rear A-arm mounts that will vary the toe-in and anti-squat angle, you could see what's available.

He is rite dont try to fix it.
I had a rush and wondered the same thing and changed rear a-arms and it handled like crap.

Getting rid of the toe in in the rear is not something you would want to do. Several things that would happen would be

1. it would be a bit harder to drive under power, as the tires arent forcing the chassis to straighten out under acceleration
2. it would get a little squirly at speed- you can try toe out if you'd like, but you wouldnt like it, im sure of it.
3. the ONLY pro of the list, it would give you a tiny bit more turn in, which doesent really matter, because its not really a race truck.
