anyone with a 8E had steering issues?
took my earthquake 8e out today, and it kept not wanting to steer to right.
left was fine, and it would always center. when i would pic the truck up and turn the wheel back and forth it would start working again. the servo and servo linkage all moves even when the wheel wont turn right. there is nothing broken or binding that i can see. but some part of the bell-crack system must be hanging up. anyone else had this issue? |

Had the stock servo do that to me on my backdraft. Now running a 3303 futaba metal gear servo. Solid now.

My Earthquake / Backdraft does the same I upgraded to a Hitech servo and still does it I think it is the servo saver.... Kurt@URCHobby has a fix and also does your servo rock back and forth? He has a good fix for that also..Just pilot some holes in the mount where the dowle pin goes into the chassis and screw that in tightens it up a lot.</p> |

my aftershocks did that due to some binding of the the link - was hitting the top tray/cover. Wasn't immediately apparent where it was getting hung up, because it didn't happen until the suspension was flexed a little.. at rest in a neutral stance, it seemed fine.
a bit of cutting on the tray with a dremel and it freed right up. |

Broke an axle on mine too. Servo is a little on the weak side for the big tires. Body is really brittle. Bashed mine hard yesterday and broke the back body mount screws that go into the shock mount. Also lost screw and spacer that goes through the c carrier into steering knuckle, missed the locktight on those the first round.. Parts ordered.
