Hi All,

I purchased a new on-road electric car that was completely built except it required the servo's to be installed.

I purchased a Futaba Transmitter that came with 2 servo's and attempted last night to install the throttle servo. I'm having a few drama's.....

As the instruction's said I have put the servo into a neutral position.

I've connected the steel rod between the servo and the accelerater on the car but it appears that the rod, or servo is causing a problem.

With my current setup: It appears that the servo/rod is position so that it's pushing the accelerater forward, this means when I turn on the car, the wheel's will spin straight away. I'm having a lot of troubles trying to make the servo straight, and align the accelrater so that it's not already making the car start when turned on.

I've taken a Picture of my current servo setup so that someone might be able to have a look and point out what I'm doing wrong.

Anyone that could help me! - I would really appreciate it.

Thanks heaps.

I would suggest that you invest in a decent Speed control and toss that servo.
You will have a lot more control and of course better run times and such. That manual speed control will wear out and can cause your car to run off when the pack dumps.

Im not sure what radio you have but most cheap radios have a knob that allows you to adjust the center point on the servo. Check you radio manual for that.

Thanks for the reply

I will check my radio tonight to see if it has any features that are mentioned.

Cheers.

If anyone is able to offer me a link where I might be able to read about setting up servo's correctly, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,

dbows right ya should have a throttle trim ya can adjust,futabas are inexpensive but not cheap,they are good radios,does the car stop when you move the trigger? try moveing the trigger if the car stops ya need to adjust the trim knob on it,if the front tires move when ya pull the trigger ya have yer servo channels reversed,swap em an start over
