rc-racer-kirby Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 sounds like its either the batterys in your transmiter or your car replace both and should work fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a-x-l-e Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) Have you checked your servo saver? I have just fixed a similar problem. A fully charged 6v pack would move my throttle perfectly, the steering would move fine with the front wheels lifted off the ground, stick it on the ground and the wheels would move about 5 degrees, if that. Tightened the servo saver and now the steering is very responsive. Edited September 3, 2008 by a-x-l-e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-x-l-e Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 sorry to hijeck how do u do that a-x-l-e my stearing turns left perfect but not 2 clever to the right My Jato has a saver which attaches to a connecting rod which in turn connects to the servo horn. On the servo saver there is a nut above a spring. The nut had to be tightened which tightens the spring. The only thing about this is you will end up with less give in your servo saver under impact so it is best to do it gradually until you are happy with the performance, too tight and you may end up with an expensive repair bill if the servo saver doesn't save the servo in a crash.

Servo Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Turn on your electrics once you have removed the horns from both throttle and steering. Centre the settings on the transmitter and then fix your horns on. Now you will have travel in both directions, but will still need to make fine adjustments and maybe move your horns round on the servos again a bit. You may also have EPAs, End Point adjustment settings on your transmitter, which will set the max and min `throw` of the servos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badger906 Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 (edited) also check on ur transmitter you dont have another trim knob which is to adjust the maximum turning limit of your wheels. alot of transitters have it to limit steering lock adam Edited September 3, 2008 by badger906 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Servo Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 Yes, thats the EPA adjustment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h_nitro Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 hey mate. i had the same problem except mine was with my throttle. try swaping your servos around and seeing if it still happens. if it does it will mean it is either the receiver or the transmitter thats causing it. my problem ended up been the transmitter. hayden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
