Hi all,
Anyone had their steering stuck on full lock? It was perfect when I finished with it last night?

Any thoughts as to what the problem could be?

The car is a one day old B4.1 RTR.

Cheers

Check the instructions and mount the servo horn at exactly the angle as shown in the picture, otherwise the servo horn will lock as yours did.

Thanks Sparrow. Even though it was running well yesterday and it's RTR?

Cheers

I had a b4.1 RTR servo fail on me by locking itself it the end points. It would do full lock but then stay there! Did a warranty return to CML and got it replaced. To be honest wen to an Align servo and more than happy with it.

Even if I power it up with the wheels turning left, it calibrates then locks to the right.

Turns out there is a an issue with the connection between the receiver and servo (thanks Gainsy). The car can sit there on full lock right - touch the wires and then it's fine and resets to neutral. Back to DMS on Monday :-(

It can be annoying when things go wrong, but i'm sure darren and the crewe at DMS will sort you out. It's good to here that you've bought from a local shop and this is were you will get the backup that you won't get from buying from an internet trader. :)
