Default EXOTEK STEERING

I just put together a exotek conversion kit for a rc18t. The only probleme I have is with the steering. When I turn it to the left, and then let it go back to normal, the tires end up to the right. And when I turn it to the right, and then let go, it ends up pointing to the left. I am usuing the stock servo and the stock survo saver. Any help would be great.

Hi,
Are you saying your servo is reversed or it's not centering? If it's reversed switch the servo reverse switch on your radio. If not centering you need a stronger servo or you need a stronger servo saver. The instructions shows how to beef up the stock servo saver.

Thanks for the help. I think the servo saver was weak or worn out, because I changed it and it works perfect.

The exotek conversion is the best thing I have done so far. And it was pretty easy to put together.

I would have to say the rc18t because thats what I went with. But your the one buying it so go with what you like best and what best fits your application. But I am sure what ever you pick your going to love it.

I already have one but I go back and fourth between the two. I am just waiting for the R to release.

Isn't the TEK18 for either the "T or R?" I was thinking of getting this conversion but wanted to read a little more about it. Anyone have any other reviews on this kit?
