18T Steering Probelms

[Traxxas_Junkee]

I have an RC18T with the stock servo and when I turn the wheels the servo wont recenter right, i tried to loosen the screw on the servo saver, tighten it, tried take apart the servo saver and it is still doing it, Im at a loss, I dont know what to do. Please help, Thank you.

[Traxxas_Junkee]

[rocco79]

did u try the steering thingy on the controller? the steering mo jigger...ya kno wut i mean? the knobby thing.

steering adjustment thingy...ya the knob.

Naa, what he means is that it goes past center and back the other way. I told him that the servo saver needs to be adjusted tighter so it springs back better, and to make sure none of the steering stuff is binding but no he won't listen and I know that's what it is.

[Traxxas_Junkee]

matt, i already told u on the phonet that i adjusted the saver and it still does it, and no its not the trim

[Ponch]

YOU HAVE TO TIGHTEN IT UP VIA ORINGS OR A SPRING! I told you that!

[Traxxas_Junkee]

AND I TOLD U I DID! I have a few washers on there also.

[Ponch]

WTF are you talking about? This has NOTHING to do w/ washers! You need to put an associated $2 shock red oring for 1/10 cars around the WHOLE servo saver setup and it works!

[Traxxas_Junkee]

ok. whatever

I dont have a 18T but I would check to see if your servo horn is not stipped out, just a thought. (if it has a servo horn)

Maybe the steering linkages are binding......? Disconnect servo and test with finger?

[Ponch]

I'm telling him something's binding....

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

I don't have an 18T. Is the servosaver "spring" a split circle clip thingy like on the RS4's?

[Ponch]

Yeah.

[DAVEC-NITRO-RS4]

Yeah, o-ring around the thing!!! That style whomps. You have to loosen the screw on top so much it almost drops off. O-ring, definately, o-ring.

[Traxxas_Junkee]

Matt, nothing is binding, I'm not that stupid, I can tell simple things like that, it must be something with the saver or the acutal servo, something that I don't know a whole lot about, I've already checked the obvious.
