rjoseph244510 14 Posted March 2, 2020 Hi guys Bit of a strange one. Basically, the steering mechanism in my Egress will not turn freely. Although the steering servo doesn't have enough power to turn the wheels it's also quite difficult to turn them manually by hand too. After investigating, I discovered that if I loosened the hub screws on both sides (see image attached) it then turns more freely and the servo has the power to turn the wheels. However, when I tighten the screws up again I encounter the same issue. They are not over-tightened by any means. Have I possibly missed something in my initial build? Any help or advise would be fully appreciated. Best regards Rod Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KEV THE REV 2319 Posted March 4, 2020 Not too familiar with these buggies , but I assume you have the correct step screws fitted and not used any washers with them ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Howards 456 Posted March 4, 2020 There's a spacer that goes in-between the hub carrier(black) and the upright (gold); it's easy to miss in the manual and the hub carrier will compress and foul things up if it's missed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
