Grasshopper servo issues...

[Tennisman36]

Hi All,

I'm after a little bit of help please if poss...

I have almost finished my Grasshopper restoration, this afternoon (whilst cheekily finishing work early) I hooked up my 540 sports motor, connected up the battery and hey presto it all works fine apart from the front wheels!!!

As soon as I switch on the servo it makes a noise and the front wheels turn to left, but that's all they do. I can't seem to get the front wheels to then go right or left??

I have an Acoms IC AS-12 servo hooked upto an Acoms AR2 /27 Receiver (running with an mtroniks sport tuned 20 esc)

I have connected up the servo to channel 1 of the receiver.

Does anyone know why my front wheels won't turn left or right..???

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Mark.

Did you centre the steering servo before fitting the servo horn? Does the servo work correctly without the steering (servo horn) connected?

Many thanks for the advice, I thought I did centre the steering servo, but as this is all new to me I will double check it now and check the servo horn also.

Well I've just checked the servo without the horn attached and it moves fine left and right, so I can't have centred it correctly! I shall try and rectify this now...

Thanks for all your help it's much appreciated.
