I'm trying to learn how to drive a touring car properly and noticed a small deadzone in the steering. It is about 7-10 degrees, 14-20 degrees is a big deadzone to me, but I'm a total beginner. Does every transmitter have a small deadzone? I'm using a Flysky FS-GT3B.

Lower budget transmitters can seem a bit vague like you describe but check exponential or steering curve is not active this softens the feel around neutral point

I'm sure flysky gtb has this feature

Does every transmitter have a small deadzone? Nope. I spent a frustrating 10 minutes trying to work out why my steering was fractionally out on my TC when trying to change toe/camber.
The steering wheel foam had slipped and was holding the wheel about half a mm off centre. So with the transmitter on and the car on the stand, it was cockeyed. Jiggling the transmitter fixed it, turning it slowly didn't.......

That's a Sanwa transmitter/reciever and a Ko Propo Servo. So the link from fingers to steering is about 500 quid....... i'm still a shit driver.
