Two things come to mind, are you mounting the servo directly or have you used the rubber isolation tabs? Could you not have your end point adjustment on your transmitter set so your not crashing the steering blocks into the c-hubs and possibly tweaking something in a way that it doesn't return to center?

You need to use the EPA adjustment in your transmitter so the servo isn't continuing to apply force once the maximum mechanical travel that the car has is reached.
In other words if you turn your transmitter all the way to the right, you should not hear your servo straining tr continueing the steering force. Same for the left.
You might also consider a servo saver.

In terms of getting a new low profile servo (which may have the same issue), which brand and model would you guys recommend. Some guys at my hobby shop said that Sanwa servo is good and value for money, and I have seen some professional racers from YouTube uses Sanwa servo in their XRay T4 and other cars such as BD7 and Trf419X.

Ok, let me try here. Your car has a certain amount of mechanical steering limited by the steering blocks hitting the c hub. Your servo should provide more movement than is nessisary to have the steering block contact the c block, so when that occurs and your servo continues to power its self you are creating tweak, and could even damage the servo's internal gears. You dial back the EPA so that the servo no longer forces the steering block into the c hub but just stops shy of contacting it.
It could be a worse case senario here that you are jumping teeth in the servo explaining why your steering doesn't return to straight on.

Btw, what is the steering angle (in terms of degree) that a T4 2016 usually achieve?
Thank you.

Yeah. He helps me to solve my issue and I learnt something new from him. Newbies like me always face issues and guys like you and AlBundy are very helpful in explaining and providing precious advices.
Once again, thank you very much AlBundy.

That's ok, I too am a newbie after a 25 year break from my child hood.
Learning new things and being able to pass on what I have been shown or learned is what this hobby is all about.
I want to say 24 to 26 degrees is what you should be looking for for the front steering. Be sure they match left to right so the car stays balanced.

The steering blocks doesn't seems like touching the C-hubs.
Yes about 26 degrees.

Thanks erchn. I have hopped up most of the T4 2016 parts and I'm using the orange alu bell cranks. I have tuned my EPA steering so that the steering blocks will not touch the C hubs. Will test it out during my next visit to the track. :-)

So I just bought myself a second hand T4'15, does anyone know the exact parts list to get it up to spec with the T4'16 car? Or even better if its possible to get it as far as the T4'17?
Apologies on the thread jump, did a lengthy search and couldn't find anything useful.

So I've found to go from the 16 to the 17 you need the below:
- Strong & Light Bumper
- Steering Posts
- Layshaft Bulkhead
- Motor Mount
- Motor Mount brace
- Shims for steering and layshaft bulkheads
- Alu Servo Mount
- Graphite Servo Mount Plate
- Graphite stiffener
- Upper and lower decks
So going by that I should only really need the ARS kit.
