servo question

[RampageCrazy26cc]

last year my rampage radio system burnt,the rx,both steering servos and the battery,burnt,so i bought a new steering servo and put a traxxas rx in and been happy ever snice,i have the one steering servo under the battery box.


the problem,is when i turn left the servo arm is hitting the battery box,is this normal or not?

Not normal. If you are just running one it would be easier to have it on the right side.

i tryed to put it on the other side the other day,but it wouldnt line up with the steering assby.

are the servo horns left and right?

No. You can install the horn after the servo is mounted.

- Mount the servo.

- Power on so it centers.

- Install arm pointing straight up. The linkage can bolt to the bracket off the arm if needed.

- Some servos require you run them on the reverse setting on your radio.

try turning the servo around so the horn will be towards the back of the truck.

Do you mean too far away or too close? You can turn the servo around.

Horn should be on the back side of the servo.

[RampageCrazy26cc]

[oldman1964]

Re: servo question

If the horns on the back side it should line up unless the steering link is shortened... Might have to turn it to make longer or shorter
