Tamiya bigwig steering

Recommended Posts

Came out great but my steering does not centre well any ideas? I thought perhaps the rubber covers were snagging but looks ok. Servo is centred correctly...

Is it a very cheap servo? I have found the cheap ones don't centre correctly,

Remove the servo saver from the steering mechanism, if the steering is not binding without the servo, it probably isn't the steering at fault

The Bigwig needs a servo with a higher torque, because the rubber boots add some resistance to the steering. 

I also had problems with a cheap standard servo, I replaced it with one which has a torque of 110Ncm (at 6V). It now works fine.

I wonder if a high torque servo saver would further improve the steering.

 

Cheers,

Markus

Hi everyone, my steering works fine, but doesn't have much lock, is this normal or is it just mine, ive tried altering the end points but doesn't help much.
