Steering Servo Question

[ZxIRAX]

Hi guys,

My hump pack charger finally arrived today, so I plugged it in and gave it a good 6 hour charge. However, this meant that I was unable to test my servos prior to attaching them!

Meanwhile I have put the engine in tonight. I will leave it as it is for now, feeling rather tired!

Anyhoo, my question is..

When I turn move the switch to the 'on' position, the steering automatically goes to the left, and stays there and makes a noise as if it wants to continue. I can control the steering with my transmitter; it will turn right about 1-2mm.

When the switch is turned to the 'off' position, the wheels go back to a central location.

I am guessing that when the servo was installed it was not at its normal position? If I am correct, do I just need to unscrew the linkage between the servo and the steering linkage, then unscrew that plastic arm thing, turn the switch on, then off for it to go back to its normal position?

Thanks in advance for your help 🙂

FIXED.

I just did as I explained above. Works great now =)

Can't help but have one last tinker before bed!

Yep, should have it all done by tonight!! Looks like the weather this weekend will be wet, so not great. I am also having to work on Sunday, so I only have saturday to break it in. Depending on the weather that is what I will be doing all day Saturday 🙂

Next week I will start to design and paint the body. One of my friends who moved to Australia is a pro body work painter, and has airbrushed a load of Savage bodys, so she was giving me some good tips.. so hopefully I will be able to make a good job.. we will see!!
