Servo final came.

So i got my servo and that was the problem but i have a few questions. After i hooked it up it seems that it turns more left than right. I made sure the servo gear was centered and i actually marked it with a orange sharpie and sure enough it turns more left than right. Another issue is when i turn the wheels my voltwatch goes down 2 LED's and keeps them lit up for around 5 seconds like its dragging the power down. Plus the servo still makes a low growling noise after you let go of the control for steering, even when the wheels snap back to the straight position it still hums a bit for 5 seconds or so and keeps the voltwatch lit up?

+1 Pipe......the servo is travelling too far....and labouring.

did you also center the trim before putting the servo horn on?

i have the same car as u pal , firstly glad u got the servo ! i also have a volt watch , since i got the car on the 1st march when i charged it i have used it everyday for about 30 to 40 minuites and last night on the 9th march i took it out still going strong ... but put it on charge again ... the volt watch has always been on green ( full ) charge and only drops like yours when its pulling power from the battery , after that it returns to full , also when i switch the car on my front stearing servo also buzzs i just lift the from off the ground and put it back down again and it stops . also keep an eye on your wheel nuts i had one come loose on a feild and my wheel came off , luckly i found it ( the wheel nut ) ... also if your running it on grass or anywhere dusty put a stocking or cover to stop leaves and grass getting sucked into the vents on the pull start were the fan is , also keep everything tight and after a few runs check the bolts in the top of the engine and pipe plus carb , change the plug too to a nkg cmr5h and use synthetic oil 25.1 , and u should have no prob , i have not with myn yet and not replaced anything.... cheers hope this helps .

Ok the trim was off on the controller. I set it and i need to pull the horn and reposition! My bad! And thats what i do when the voltwatch lights up.if i push the front of the car down it stops? Will fix and update this evening

Voltwatch will flicker when in use. No problems there.

Yeah... The horn on that servo does NOT go in dead center (staright up) when in nuetral position... it goes 10 degrees to the right (about 1 tooth) when looking at it from the front of the car...

After this ... then you can re-center your controller's trim and epa

Mine also steers a bit more to the left than to the right... but not by much... I corrected the EPA so once the steering goes as far as it can to either direction the controller stops there... this should extend the life of the servo a bit... and don't forget to adjust your servo saver... don't over tighten it...
