Hi Abonnet,
You can find some answers in previous postings about the Genesis problems concerning steering, turning radius and gear shifting.
Here is a link to the webshop where I bought my 6V pack http://www.hobbyfreun.de/shop/produc...oducts_id=2865
This shop is in Germany (they ship world wide) but I think this pack is also available in the US.
With a 6V pack and tightening the servo saver (and using my Futaba TX/RX) I found the original steering servo "oke". Must admit though that I have a Hitec HS945 standby.....
And yes, my Genesis also came "NOT ready to rock" out of the box......
I consider myself lucky that this was not my first monster truck......
But it took only 10 minutes or so to adjust all settings so that the truck was ready for test driving and another 10 minutes to fine tune after a few runs. I only forgot to check the distance of the pinion gears to the transmission gears......cost me a set of pinion gears[&o]
After fitting a new set (and setting allignment en distance 100%) I noticed again strong wear on these pinion gears allready after a few runs. I believe these gears are made out of a very soft steel.
I ordered a new -harder- set of pinion gears in Italy (found them on Ebay). Hope they will last longer.....
I will post a report on these gears when they get to me (seller informed me; end of this week) and had time to test drive them.
