Yes the steering bell crank or I should say cam type servo saver. Correct me if I'm wrong guys. And yes there is a heavy duty spring you can purchase just don't know if this will fix my problem.
OK guys thought I had this all worked out but a guess not. Still having issues with my steering. Turns out the plastic savor savor ( the two pieces that fit together over the spring ) are binding up. I turned the stock spring as tight as I could but it seems that the to pieces are to loose or...
Ya I'm gonna have to look into getting a new front bearing. I heard that Bocca was great. I used them before on one of my other RC trucks. Never had a problem.
Thanks guys. And thanks ryan86 for the kind words. Well I might just do that. I never had this happen before. The rubber seal is not damaged at all, just came off. I'll buy a new bearing now the question is What bearing should I buy :)
Hello everyone. I haven't been around in a while so I hope you guys don't mind me posting with a problem. I took the savage out for one last run before winter. I was cleaning it up when I noticed the seal on the front bearing was coming off. I took the clutch bell and flywheel off and sure...
Got it. I don't know what I did but theres no binding when I turn the wheels. Might have been that the screw that connects my steering linkage from the servo horn was to tight. Well I might post a vid anyway just to see. Thank you thank you thank you NITROMITE.
I did the bearing upgrade. It's funny that the restance is only limited to a small degree if the wheels are turned all the way towards the Left I feel some restance. But once the wheels are turned passed that small degree they move fine until I go back to the spot where they get hung up again...
I think I found the problem. When I took everything apart I started to eliminate one think at a time to see what the problem could be. Turns out that the restriction comes from the steering crank part #85058. There seems to be some restriction when I turn the wheels. When I disconnect the...
I gotta check. I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to look at this thing yet. You guys are very helpful and I don't want you guys to think I have forgotten about this. Been getting home from work super late and the last thing I can do is concentrate on my truck. Bare with me guys, and thanks...
Ok... You know the spring thats on the purple portion of the Bell crank? when I turn the wheels by hand I notice that the portion of the bell crank (side with the spring) kinda moves or get hung up some how when turning and needs a little extra nug. almost looks like the springs to tight or...
Crap! I never got to it last night. Maybe tonight i'll get a chance to look it over again. I am going to tighten down the screws that hold the steering together first (the ones from the top inside the battery box and the two in the bottom under the chassis) I don't understand why HPI doesn't...
Ya that would be cool. A few beers some bashing a few beers some more bashing. If I had it my way I would be working on my trucks all the time. That is after I spent the day breaking them :) I read through your other post about the carrier/outer hub and I'm going to have a look tonight when I...
Well here is what I noticed. Put everything back together (still going to try what orcusasomega suggested) but when I push the wheels (side where the spring is located) I can see the steering crank part # 85058 kinda gets stuck or hung up a little before it moves almost seems like it's pushing...
Well yes I believe so. I have the savage XSS Kit and the so ya if its like the one you posted a pic of then yes it looks the same, purple with a spring on the bottom. Also when you mentioned "check the upper and lower screws on the carriers" wich screws are you talking about? Not to sound...
