I just tried it and it didn't solve the problemtry flipping the servo reverse switch on your transmitter.....
So I adjusted the trim and the fixed the problem but now it barely moves and it's making almost a clanking noise when It's in neutral. The servo is a futaba s3003get the linkages and all in a clear vid and possibly we can see if there is a problem... but if is a stock servo most of them are not all that durable anyway......
The twitching was because the antenna wasn't up. I'm really sorry for all of these spontaneous updates. The only problem now is that the servo won't turn enough to apply the brakedNow it's twitching
Great idea Francis! I will check that outThe dual rate setting limits travel in both directions. Is it a digital servo?
So I looked in the manual under the dual rates and the function after is called ATL-BK. It's basically dual rates for braking. Thanks for the info guys!The dual rate setting limits travel in both directions. Is it a digital servo?
Why would you put grease in the servo saverI want to say, why should we need a strong servo for throttle and brakes, but this weekend I was having a problem with my throttle and brakes and standard 3003. I think the problem was a combo of the servo arm assembly with the spring in between was binding, and the screw holding it on top was too tight. I put a little white grease in between the two pieces, and around the bellcrank shaft, readjusted trims and I think I fixed it. Brakes seem strong enough for the most part though as long as the linkage is working right.

That wasn't the servo saver. Its the servo horn which attaches to throttle brake linkage, two parts separated by a ring shaped spring that allows the throttle servo to work the brakes without putting pressure on the carb when it slides past below idle.. We were talking about throttle/break not steering.....You really shouldn't, maybe some dry lube but never grease...

That isn't what that spring does. It just lets the throttle servo hit the brakes, then when you release it bounces back so the brakes won't stick. How do you not know this? Why would you need a servo saver on a throttle brake servo?
You're right it does say steering crank/servo saver. Odd.Well just FYI in the manual under servo saver part #85058 it is called a servo saver crank assembly so in this instance you are not using correct terminology.....
One could use a straight arm and accomplish the same objective but there would be no overtravel springs to keep the servo from going all the way to the stop thus wearing or burning out the servo so they use that crank/saver assembly to keep this from happening......
But for all intents and purposes it is a servo saver......
