I'll try all of the following ! I'll try get video later with phone , as for radio system I'm using perfex kyosho controller with perfex servos

So new servo is in took the entire front apart and nothing looks bent or broken the servo saver seems to be fine .. Car still not steering right tho it's not pulling to one specific side like it was its now .. If I steer left and release it pulls left if I steer right and release it pulls right ... ?? I double checked for damage and servo saver and nothing appears to be at fault outta ideas ...

Cheers buddy ! Seems the servo saver has gone back to being tight again and not returning to neutral so I'm going to see if I permanently free that up then I'll do what you said with servo horn and that and I'll update thanks to all who've helped so far

Update : so today new glow starter and fresh fuel and it turned over running like a dog but it turned over ! Steering test no trim pulls heavily to one side , trim all the way right bias it almost drives straight but at least it's some what returning to neutral tonight I'll pull it apart and do more tweaking see if I can fix this issue on the upside a friend has same car sat in his she'd been sat for long time wants to much for whole car but few beers maybe he will let me buy parts getting there ...

Not sure what my phone did there but ok lol , so went to model sport today one just down the road from me wahey but sadly there closed on Wednesdays ... What ?!! Just outta curiosity after I've got the steering sorted what's my chances finding some one with a hpi branded car to swap with ?

I think that you may well have it right there mate ! I put the car back together last night .. First time I ever took one apart at all so was slow process lol but I'm going to pick some fuel and new glow starter up today as eBay seller supplied me with a duff one and give the car a run to see how it reacts to the steering if it won't ride straight I'm going to take the servo saver and have a closer look thanks fir for the help so far guys !!

Okay so by moving the horn on the actual connector but of the servo tooth by tooth I managed to get the flat spot in the middle So turn left then release and it retracts same with the right so basically the the problem is equally spread between left and right so either way when I let off steering it retracts back just not far enough for it to be facing straight. i guess you could say it's a flat spot I don't know how to word this I'm sorry lol

Right lil update I re attached the horn to the servo several times trial and error and now the right is fixed but the left won't return to centre ...

It feels fairly easy to move the wheels right but left is tight and even tighter trying to put it back in the center after moving it left so yeah stiff left loose right , thanks for the advice I'll have a fiddle and see if I can do anything as a fix here and thank you for educating me ?

I think the issue is here as like I said the servo moves fine when disconnect from the horn/rod ect ect

Drafty thank you for replying , my knowledge of everything rc is very very small so i didn't understand everything you mentioned I'm sorry I'm a noob ? with the horns disconnected they work just fine move same distance and return to center position so I'm thinking these are working right so I think it's the actual bit the steering rod is attached too ill try try post a picture from my phone now thanks for your input so far !

Hello all I'm Damo im very very new like 2nd day into the hobby. i recently brought a kyosho pureten gp alpha 2 off some one on eBay. It was advertised as full working order but it seems this isn't true. So the issue steering right is fine turns correct amount and returns to front facing but turning left is very slack hardly movement and does not return to front facing at all. I've looked to see if something was obstructing anything but it seems all ok I've braved into the "I have no idea" and took off the entire power box that contains the servos by removing the horns from the actual servo i really don't know what's what and how to fix the issue any help would be appreciated eBay seller has left me hanging no refund offer so I'm stuck with this and not knowing enough to fix it myself thanks in advance
