Naa, what he means is that it goes past center and back the other way. I told him that the servo saver needs to be adjusted tighter so it springs back better, and to make sure none of the steering stuff is binding but no he won't listen and I know that's what it is.

matt, i already told u on the phonet that i adjusted the saver and it still does it, and no its not the trim
18T Steering Probelms - Ponch - 02-08-2006
YOU HAVE TO TIGHTEN IT UP VIA ORINGS OR A SPRING! I told you that!
18T Steering Probelms - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-08-2006
AND I TOLD U I DID! I have a few washers on there also.
18T Steering Probelms - Ponch - 02-08-2006
WTF are you talking about? This has NOTHING to do w/ washers! You need to put an associated $2 shock red oring for 1/10 cars around the WHOLE servo saver setup and it works!
18T Steering Probelms - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-08-2006
ok. whatever

I dont have a 18T but I would check to see if your servo horn is not stipped out, just a thought. (if it has a servo horn)

Maybe the steering linkages are binding......? Disconnect servo and test with finger?
18T Steering Probelms - Ponch - 02-08-2006
I'm telling him something's binding....
18T Steering Probelms - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 02-08-2006
I don't have an 18T. Is the servosaver "spring" a split circle clip thingy like on the RS4's?
18T Steering Probelms - Ponch - 02-08-2006
Yeah.
18T Steering Probelms - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 02-08-2006
Yeah, o-ring around the thing!!! That style whomps. You have to loosen the screw on top so much it almost drops off. O-ring, definately, o-ring.
18T Steering Probelms - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-08-2006
Matt, nothing is binding, I'm not that stupid, I can tell simple things like that, it must be something with the saver or the acutal servo, something that I don't know a whole lot about, I've already checked the obvious.
