I have a problem with my lst2 steering.Whenever i turn to the right my wheels get stuck. But if i turn to the left its ok.I have my epa set at 125 for l/r .Thats the way its been since i got it.Im only using one servo because my other servo stopped working.When i first took the bad servo out everything was ok just a little slower.But it would turn all the way l/r with out getting stuck. But now its getting stuck turning to the right side.My good servo is on the left side. Could my servo be getting weak because im running it with one servo.Also will my stock steering servo savers fit a hitec servo.Thanks for the feedback in advance

Lets try this agian, first reply got lost in computer neverland.
Pop the ballcup off at the end of the servo saver linkage. Now turn the wheels lock to lock, any binding? Put some pressure on the servo saver and operate the radio. Is the servo smooth?
Different servo saver buttons are available in a pars package from Losi that fit the splines of the 4 major servo types. Don't have the part number at hand but I think its a touring car part. The button just pops out of the bottom of the servo saver.

Is this the kit? Damn I wish I had known about this earlier. I might have kept my 333 Hitec servos instead of buying the 8800s.

When you say that your wheels get stuck what does it take to un-stick them. Manual force? This problem is a head scratcher for sure but along with Bentgear's advice for troubleshooting I would take a close look at the carriers and spindles. The turning arm on the spindle may be binding as it wraps around the carrier. Also carefully inspect the steering bulkheads. Let us know what you find.
