Default Need some help here!!(Yes one of the Veterans needs help)

A while ago I PMed magnat that my servo wouldnt work. I replaced it with one of two of my spares.One A futaba and the other an associated the one I put the futaba in. On the servo it said "Indirect Drive".The Other one didnt. Does Inderect mean it only turns one way?[X(]

It'll work fine. Seems it has the same specs as the S3001 standard servo, but it's a 'precision' model. Dunno what that means, but here are the specs.

S148 Precision
FUTM0710
Volts------Torque---------Speed
4.8V------44.4 oz-in.------0.23 sec/60°
6.0V------56.9 oz-in.------0.19 sec/60°

Another thing you can do is to bring it to your LHS and have them troubleshoot it. One of the three wires may be bad, which may lead to the inability to turn right. I'd try the Associated servo first before you try to get the Futaba fixed, as the problem may lay in your radio gear.

hey man that wont be neccessary. Why? cuz my baby is back on the road. It was the way the servo horn was placed. I had to center it. so you can say that was pretty obvious. Now the S3003 one that I messed up durin driftin. I may buy few of them, cuz they are heck a tight on it. It ran smooth, and turned like it shouldve turned
