Default RE: Caldrea 10E steering servo

ORIGINAL: jroptop
Quick question tothe Caldera 10E owners,Is it normal for the steering servo not returning to full dead center after turning left or right with the radio?
Should it happen? No. Is it common? Unfortunately yes.

All the steering pivots are tight out-of-the-box, something Jang mentioned in his review. The steering servo has been a bit dodgy for some people too: even after Imade sure my pivots were OK I still couldn't get it to center properly either - Redcat support was very helpful and sent me a new stronger servo that was much better.

The tight pivots will sort themselves out without all the fiddling you saw in the URC review: I just worked a light coating of oil into mine and they fairly quickly loosened up just driving around. But if the servo is weak you may need to get it replaced/upgraded, or just spend $20-$40 for a new metal-gear model yourself.

Good luck!
