Ok first i have a question will a JR (not sure of the model) throttle servo work as a steering servo for a 1/8?

Also here is a short video of me jumping this afternoon. Im not sure if you can notice but i cant turn to the left but the right works fine.

any servo will work, just depends on the amount of torque as to how good it will work.

let off on the throttle when you launch. your rear end wont drop as much. love the car and the vids bro

ehroof

bro, looks like you had fun but that engine is way to lean on the low needle, richen it up some. i can hear it!!!!

5lagd

Eddie, how does this mine sound?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cij9ZMifSQI and i know this is like the 3rd time ive posted it. sorry guys

ehroof

engine sounds good bro

webbl19

you think it is too lean? i was messing with the idle settings before the vid.

ehroof

yeah, it sounds lean on the low, richen it before you fool with the idle. its not the high idle i hear, it the way it sounds, after a while you get an ear for tuning, lol

ight i will richen it up. have to see if my JR servo will work ok then i will go out and play some more tomorrow, if its not raining. booo

webbl19

oh and it was going down like that cause my idle settings were kind of high and it was making the wheels spin. i was working on tuning all the settings today but the steering servo went out on me.

webbl19

ok well the JR works ok. wont turn on the carpet but turns when it is rolling which is all it needs to do i guess. So i am ready for tomorrow. I will richen it and go!!! Its to bad i cant enter the jump contest cause i was just warming up.

ehroof

let me know how it works out for you bro

webbl19

oh i wont have to tell you, you will see...lol

ehroof

even better!!!

webbl19

im thinking it will have something to do with my regular car.

im taking about jumping my automobile with my buggy

Just had a problem with my 1/10 buggy not turning to the left. found the problem to be one of the lower front suspension pins had pushed back a bit. only like 3/16". it was enough to bump into the steering linkage stopping it from turning. maybe thats your problem. worth a shot looking at it

webbl19

no i think my servo was shot. when i turn left you can hear the gears in there slipping, im not sure why it wasnt doing it when i was turning right though. i just put a new one on there.

webbl19

heres a new video of today, as you can see im not a good jumper, i also richened the needle but it sounds the same to me. except for the idle i turned that down.
