Morning,

i was driving my x ss earlier today and i noticed that when it was hitting mud grass rocks etc without difficulty it was turning the wheels, so i stopped the car and turned the wheels myself and i didnt feel any resistance from the servo as you normally would, i dont know what the problem is but i hope u guys can help, or what u guys needa know to find out whats wrong so i can take it apart etc

anyhow thanks guys in advance

regards

what servo are you using for for the steering?

In my opinion you need at least 200oz torque servo, you can get away with less but if you ever run one with that much you will never run one with less ever again.

ravenlunatic

that mean nothing to me as i have no idea what brand that is.

how much torque does it have?

are you using 4aa's or a hump pac?

can you still steer the truck?

does it make any noise?

DavidKirkbride

190 oz of torque

im using 4 aa's

not a hump pack

and no i dont get a noice when i turn the wheels with electronics on

ravenlunatic

then it may be that your servo saver is set to low.

DavidKirkbride

how do i adjust my servo saver.

ravenlunatic

look on the right side of the truck, the servo saver is located under the radio box, it's the two cylinders that connect the box to the front skid plate, the servo saver is the threaded cylinder with the spring, below the spring is a purple ring that the spring sits on, turn the ring so that the spring is more compressed. DON'T TURN IT ALL THE WAY UP! that whole cylinder is your servo saver, you can adjust it by turning the purple ring clockwise of counter clockwise.

ravenlunatic

190oz servo should turn it quite well. I agree with the others check you servo saver adjustment.

ravenlunatic

David, keep us posted.

BTW where did you buy you servo at?

DavidKirkbride

erm, i bought it off ebay, and i still cant get to the bloody adjustment thing, i can see it, but i just cant get a good enough position to get a turn on it, any ideas mate, of what i should take off, i took the skid platye off but it didnt do anything, and i ddint want to take the metal plate off as that is the diffs and stuff

ravenlunatic

the purple plate is remove able it won't do any harm to the difs and the difs are encased, just keep the truck upside down and don't get anything i the square where the dif is and you'll be ok

DavidKirkbride

hi pal,

i got it done mate, its done much better now, u cud say i done it the hard way as i took of the radio box

thanks pal
