Default M11 wheel problem

Lately my M11 wheel dosen't want to set back at neutral, it sticks just a tad from the center, a little which causes me to have to adjust it. Which kills having to adjust going down the back straight every lap. It's not so much the wheel, but whole bearing setup in the radio. Has anyone else had this problem?

I have actually had the entire spring system that regulates the tension of the wheel snap causing the steering wheel to move freely. I sent it back to airtronics and a week later i received my fully repaired (and freely repaired). I recommend the same for you to prevent total equipment failure like i had.

Yes it happens sometimes. pull on the wheel like your gonna rip it off till it clicks and it will be all fixed. I have had this happen twice. Just the other day actually. if something hits the the wheel it happens.

I know it sounds crazy but somebody showed me this when i had the issue.

I have the same problem. Mine "centers" just a tick to the left of center. Annoying to see that little blip on the line, to the left when looking at the servo status indicator for steering.

Post your results or whatever you decide to do. I'll probably do the same, or just send it in for service... allthough mine is modded with a now built-in Spektrum Pro module so I'm apprehensive about service.

Just tried it. Pulled the hell out of it. No click, and no change.

To know for sure, your going to have to take it all apart...

theres 3 springs just behind the plastic behind the wheel that bring it back to center...

Pre easy fix... ide check those
