Help a really noob dad on brushless RC

Oh sorry! I got a used E-Revo 1/16. Ill upload pics once I get my digital camera back. It's basically stock.

can you get softer springs for it? the bounce is usually from stiff spring tension....or see if there is an adjustment collar you can loosen up on the shocks....I know the aluminum shock bodies have them, just not sure if the stock ones are teh same.....how's he like it so far?

Oh yeah! He's loving that revo. He loves the wheelie that revo capable of. He even already broke the front body post and strip the gear of servo. Oh well as long as he's enjoying. The revo came with the black spring and the collar is set to stiff as possible. Whats the stock spring anyway? Ill play with the suspension.

if the collar is all the way tight, loosen it to about half way and see it that helps the bouncing. also thicker shock oil will lessen the bouncing by slowing down the shock action and rebound. is it bouncing because the shocks arent compressing fast enough, or is it bottoming out and bouncing off the ground?

 

[Evofreak]

When it jump it bottoms down and the shock travel so fast that make the rig bounce. I suspect there is no oil on the shocks. I guess ill have to take it a part tonight to figure it out.

Oh one more question. My steering trim not responding at all. It wont go on straight line so I was adjusting the trim for the steering but nothing happening. Is my servo done?

 

[beason]

your servo saver, horn, or spline may be stripped. does the front end have any play in it?

took just the servo out to see if the horn moves when adjusting the steering trim but nothing happens.

 

[beason]

is it stock radio? are you turning the trim or epa knob?

 

[Evofreak]

Radio is stock and I'm turning it via trim.
