hello all

so you have problems with your turning diameter as well.

this is what i did.

im gonna give you the half long version.

shortly after i bought my genesis i noticed that it would turn good one way and not the other. i tried and tried to get it to work. i did everythng listed in this post. used a longer servo arm, changed the servo, extended the linkage, drilled a new hole closer to the center of the servo saver arm (hard to explain). blah blah blah. the only thing that worked was when i switched the radio gear to my savage stuff. then with the stock genesis, stock genny reciever, and savage radio i had full steering, lock to lock!

i called the shop i bought it from and said i had a problem. he put me in touch with the importer in our area. i explained my problem to him. when he spoke to CEN they suppled me a new radio. i tried the new one and it did the same thing! switched back to the savage radio and it worked again. now i knew for sure there was a common problem with the stock genesis radio.

the steering wheel on the new radio was getting bound up on the transmitter body. i figured that i could put a washer to give a bit more space. when i took off the wheel i saw the plastic stops that limit the steering wheel from turning all the way around. i took a knife to these. removed about two milli from each side, put in a spacer mounted the wheel and tried it again. now i had wayyyyy better steering. i did this one more time, removing a bit more material. perfect. infact now i had to use a shorter servo arm! this is a good thing because it reduces the strain in the steering servo.

dont waste your money on a new servo unless yours fails. (mine did) this mod is FREE!

i had a few other problems with mine (all taken care of by CEN), but all is well now.
