A more powerful steering servo?

vectra

Hard to say what exactly the problem s but when it does happen..What do you do to sort it again?

T-Maxx

Is it fitted with a servo saver? Prolly is. (Should be.) Is it adjustable? Maybe needs a tightening...

A third possible cause to check would be if the splines (teeth) of the servo shaft are worn allowing the servo arm or servo saver to slip and jump teeth when under load.

Thats the one I was getting to..
I just wanted to know what he was doing to right the issue before suggesting that.
I see that problem happening quite a lot at our weekly indoor races when drivers bang into the hoses. :rolleyes:

do you have to straiten the wheels with your hand after they keep to the side?

ye plug pritty much i know its prob doing more harm than good but the 1st time it happened i fixed it by accident i was trying to see what was stopping the wheels an "pop" it was sorted so i jus pop it back now saves time when im out bashing with no tools other than my glowplug starter thanks for all the posibilitys il start checking them out tomorrow after work.

If you have a spare servo just throw it in and give it a run. See if the same thing happens or not. Process of elimination

corpseorourke

ye good plan il look for my spares from an old buggy .... let the prcess begin lol

Not quite what they claim them to be, but nevertheless good enough for a steering servo.

Whatever about them being ok as a steering servo and they not being quite what they claim to be.. Show me others as good at that price..

T-Maxx

Great value for money I agree.

All I'm saying is that the specs are slightly exaggerated.

vectra

True.
Well, Im happy anyway

Cheers, reason I was asking was to put it in the trottle/brake of the t-maxx, brakes are knackered.
