New servos only rotating about 60 degrees


Neil Macfarlane

Recommended Posts

Hi, just joined group, new to RC and this is my first post.

 

I bought a bunch of stuff from a modelling shop and both Carson CS3 servos are only rotating about 45 degrees, using a reflex stick 2.  Is there something I should do to get more rotation.

 

Thanks

 

Neil

 

Did I get the wrong servos or do they need programmed to rotate further?

Is there any adjustment available for steering response? (Either on the TX or the ESC if it’s programmable?)

Had a similar thing recently myself when I thought a servo had packed in and it turned out I’d accidentally turned the steering response to minimum.🤦‍♂️

Can’t tell from your vid, but assume the adjuster below the stick is to centre it, but is that an adjuster to the left of it? Try pushing that forward a bit??

That's a 6 channel radio, the two 'vertical' trims are for the vertical axes on the sticks - they won't do anything for servo travel on the steering channel

 

 

The Reflex Stick 2 doesn't have endpoint adjustment mentioned in the manual, only servo reversing.
You might get more travel if you get a transmitter with end point adjustment (as you can set travel to values greater than 100%) as long as the servo is mechanically able to travel further
