AndrewClaytonUK Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I have a HPI Baja 5B SS and some of yous may know me from the other forum. I do not know what is wrong with my steering servo. When the car is lifted from the ground, the steering seems tow work fine, but when it is on the ground, it struggles to move to the right and the left. Thern, when it is moving, espicially at high speeds, it does not turn right at all, only left? Someone please tell me what is going on?! It's not a good idea to take it out with dodgy steering and no brakes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Im no servo expert but I would say that the servo is dead, have you got another one to try? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadMeatUK Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Is it the servo or servo saver? As to me sounds like the saver is too weak? To check put it on the ground and operate the steering and look at the servo arm, is it moving almost as much as it does when the wheels are off the ground?

AndrewClaytonUK Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'll have to check in the morning, I did adjust the servo saver because it was very slack, so I tightened it up a bit, not sure what effect it had on the steering, I'll check tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 every servo unless it is a very very high tourque servo will struggle to move a stationary car on the ground. but when it turns right but not left has to be something electrical, either rx(dout it) or servo.

AndrewClaytonUK Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yeah, even standing still, it turns more to the left than the right. When it's moving it will only turn right the tiniest bit, the turning circle for right is huge, compared to the left turn. You can see the wheels turning right to the maximum when accelerating, but it is just pointless when your just driving around Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
