Gaz! Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hi, As above my steering spring has let go today and I was wondering if I could buy one and fit the spring myself or do I have to contact horizon hobbies or model sport (where I bought it from). Any help would be greatly appreciated.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamR Posted October 19, 2014 Share Posted October 19, 2014 Apparently not. Its a common problem with the dx4s. The best thing to do is to take out the spring and re bend a hook into what is left of the spring. There are guides on youtube of how to do it.

That's the best thing to do, I had the same issue with my dx3c. It did add more tension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz! Posted October 22, 2014 Author Share Posted October 22, 2014 It was out of warranty though, plus I don't mind paying, it's one hobby shop that needs to stay.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
