8e Steering Servo Problem.
 

Any having problems with the 8e series steering servos? When I pulled it out of the box my Earthquake has been acting funny, and hasn't changed even though it took a big front hit. The steering servo is not turning correctly. How can you check for correct operation? I thought it was a speed related thing, ie more responsive the faster it goes. I know there is a sensitivity adjustment and I adjusted that,adjusted that. Any sugg?

take off the servo arm and check that it is still fully turning in both directions..<div>if not it could either that you change the epa on the radio(controlls how far the servo will travel in each direction) or you servo may be screwed.. i had a brand new servo redcat servo go bad as soon i took it out of the box.</div>

Could I get a new one under warranty?  when it came out of the box it seemed like it was under pressure when turning w/o the wheels on the ground like something was holding it back, did not change even after I hit the tree but that was head on on the bumper not the susp.

I'd replace it with something of higher quality. Look at hitec servos. A little extra cash and you'll have a servo you can trust for a long time. Look for one 140oz+.

Yea I thought about a new servo,but all my $$went to buy the parts I broke.but I just did Kurts fix and countersunk the holes on the chassis seems tighter. like a rock........,
