Default Return Of The Non-Returning Servo!!!!

Hi, long story short. My all Sanwa radio system (Cen MT stock) has 2 defaults for the steering servo. From full left, the servo returns 7mm off where it returns from full right which makes straight lines a very difficult feat! and therefore renders the car completly undriveable, very frustrating.

Whats the cure?

new servo? new radio system? I do understand that the stock sanwa is rubbish.

Thanks in advance.

I'm not 100% sure what your saying?
But Try taking the Servo Savers off and Re-Center them, with your radio set at 0, That should give ya back some Adjustment to get it to go Strait.

Make sure the steering trim is set correctly. And do as SJ suggested being sure the servo is centered as well.

Okay long story short. Full left on the receiver and let go, the servo returns to a different position from full right. Is the servo broke?

I had a problem with a servo saver that caused something like that on one of my trucks. It had worked itself loose. I just torqued it down where I wanted it and the problem went away. Lubricating all the bearings in the front of the truck helped some also, but my problem was the servo saver.
