Steering trim help
Hi there I'm after a bit advise. I'm running a schumacher Mi4cx with a savox servo. I'm having massive problems with the trim getting knocked out of centre if I touch anything, then spend the next lap trying to sort it out. I've checked the horn and the teeth are all ok. Was wondering if a servo saver may help.
Anyone with any advice will be really helpful. Thanks |

Hi ben have you checked that steering is all free and even on both sides ? It could also be your servo !

Whilst agreeing that this sounds like a servo fault, you could also check...
The servo arm. Whilst it might look like all the teeth are in good condition, does the horn have a hairline crack in it? If it does, this can cause the horn to jump a tooth. The turnbuckles. If there is a stripped thread somewhere in one of the ball cups, the turnbuckle can move in the ball cup. If the amount the car goes off-sentre is a lot, and is usually the same amount and direction when it happens, then suspect one of the above. If it is a little, then swap the servo out for another (if you have one or can borrow one) and see if it cures the problem. HTH |

It may be worth checking the tweak in your chassis too while you rebuild the steering assembley

Thanks for the advice. I replaced the horn on my last outing and the same problem was still there. I'll try a new servo and see what happens. Should I use a servo saver as well from now on

Im not to sure if the cxl has a in built servo saver if it does use a horn if it dont you need a saver on the servo unless your planning to run a 4.5t motor on tarmac
