So I installed my new servo the hitec rhino. All set to go. Out the arm in right but now I noticed it steers backwards.

For example if I turn the control wheel twords me it turns right instead of left. I have the stock KM 2.4 radio is this something I switch there?

I tried flipping the service over and also reversing the cable. If I flip the servo the servo arm hits the steering assembly. If I flip the cable the whole radio boxstops working

Any ideas

this happened to me as well, you will need to revers teh servo on the tx ;)
 
Seems good so far ;-)

Question I am a bit confused by the manual so far, anyone have any pointers on how to do it?
 
Haven't looked TBH, but there should be 2 or 3 little 2-way switches under a cover, or something similar - sometimes it is electronically reversed.
2 for a 2-channel, 3 for a 3-channel. These simply reverse the throw of that channel.
Steering is normally channel 1, throttle/brake channel 2.
If there is such a thing on your transmitter, switch on Tx and Rx (don't start the motor) and turn the steering, say to the left.
If you've got the right switch, move it to the other position, and the wheels should move to the other side ....
It is easy when you find it.
Al.
 
It's like this manual is in Chinese :-)

Any help would be appreciated guys right now I am learning to drive in reverse :-)

I haven't found any pins nor can determine the actual setting. But this is the first time I completed a full bash with nothing breaking. Lost one wheel nut and watched the rear wheel flying through the dirt and the car to rock a 360 spin out. That's what I call fun.

The reversing is on page 15.

Sir thank you. I have to admit in my embarassement. I thought reversing meant like driving backwards. Yikes

Just by telling me that page, and also the mentioning of the pins I put two and two together and got it going ;-)
 
That's not embarrassing! Pulling, pulling, and pulling and not figuring out why your motor wont start just to find your choke is still on ---- Priceless....:lol:
