I'm using a savov servo and can't find a good center so I need to use a ton of trim.. Moving it one spline over gets the above results.
I'm using the F servo horn that came already installed on the associated servo out of the box. Savox says to use the servo horns that fit Futaba's.
It takes a lot of force to get the horn off and on and I'm always worried about ruining the servo when trying to adjust it.
Should I get a new servo horn or mess with the turnbuckles or something?
One more question, when finding the FDR, after dividing the gears, what number do I use to multiply? In case I worded that bad for my touring car it's something like: 48/82x2.05
try adjusting your turn buckles to get them equal to each other so that one side isn't longer than the other. Measure the turn buckle between the ends of the ball cups and try to get it as close to each as possible. Also try adjusting the ball the linkage between the servo horn and the bell crank as well. This has to do a lot with getting a perfect "ZERO'd" out steering.. Put the ball cup on either the servo horn 1st or the bell crank(easier if you put it on the bell crank) and then zero out your servo with your radio, make sure that your sub trim is at zero as well. Then turn the ball cup that is not on in or out so that it will fit on the other ball stud with having the wheels straight.
The spline count is the same for both AE servo's, Savox, and futaba's which is a 25. So it being a tight/snug fit is a good thing. You might want to switch out to a aluminum servo horn later but the plastic is fine for now, they just strip out from time to time which is why the aluminum(Racers Edge is my preference).
