Default retract servo trim?????

It's late at night and working on my MW chipmunk..

I bought a GWS s136gm retract servo I have a R700 JR reciever and a XF631 transmitter.

I'm trying to reduce the travel on this servo through the radio but the servo will only go 180 degrees


Is this servo adjustable?. Should I use aa ssmaller control arm and use the 180 rotation.

Any input would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most retract servos are not adjustable, and not proportional. They only go lock to lock so that the servo is not loaded at the ends of its travel. Measure the amount of travel that you need, then drill the holes so that 180 degrees moves that far.

Les thanks for the reply

I would of thought retracts were adjustable. Like they always say you get what you pay for!!!!!!!!!

This is standard for all retract servos. They all move 180 degrees, all or nothing. It has nothing to do with what you paid for the item. If you need to decrease the travel, move the pushrod in on the horn/wheel.
