reversed steering
#1

a little help please..... just got a hpi sprint 2... however, with my servo in the steering is reversed..( turn left car goes right and vice-versa) is there a way to change the way the servo turns via the wiring? failing that, does anyone know how to undo the ball joints on the tie rods so i can re-arrange them to suit the servo?
cheers guys,

my remote isn't that flash, and if it is it's in japanesse and i can't read it... i have the servo in the right way but have noticed that if i move the position of the steering linkages it'll change, i just can't work out ow to pull the little ball housing off the ball

on the steering linkage, if i change the position of the two it will steer the right way, i just cannot work out how to pull the ball connection apart

I drive reverse
When I started 7 years ago with this hobby I don't know how to work the radio so I just learned to drive it reverse.
Up to this day I'm driving my car with a steering on reverse. I tried to drive the right way but my brain is just so used to it now so I just left the way it is.

I got that way with an old computer game, by default the up/down was reversed, you push up the nose goes down, then I got another different game which was reversed and I couldn't play it

point number 4. if i swap them around, and same on the other side it should work proper, i just can't work out how to pull the ball cup off the ball joint without bending something.. your pic shows what happens when i turn right on my control.

well it would seem that my idea was a complete flop.... of course, the linkage still moves the same way so why would the steering change????? DUH!!!!!! guess i'd best be going with the first idea, if i change the wiring to my servo, maybe swap two around, could that do it?

i'm using a jr racing.. cobra control, reciever and servo set, apparently i can can reverse the servo via the buttons on my controller, however i can't read japanesse so am at a loss. grrrrr
