Revo steering

[Bkyd Basher]

Any special parts i can buy to make my steering turn a little sharper? I trimmed the stops a little but didnt gain much.

No idea about parts, but as for settings you can use less toe-in and worn tires to get the rear to slide a bit in the corners.

They make servo extenders that make your servo turn further but I'm not sure if thats only one way.

If you've got a grunty servo you can use a longer servo horn to get more & faster steering travel.
Trim the stops right back & check that the carriers are not hitting the A-arms at full lock.
Check that the servo horn is not hitting the side of the plastic servo protector.
Throw away the plastic steering arm (the one the link rod from the servo horn connects too) & get an alloy one that doesn't flex like damp spaghetti.

Check the revo mod thing on the traxxas site
All you need is a aluminum servo horn and single steering arm thr rest is grinding of parts till you get the throw you desire

several companies make that modified steering arm (w/notches) in aluminum..rd logics comes to mind

Does anyone else have this problem or maybe its just something that was mentioned above by TK5310? Is this the part i should replace?http://www.ebay.com/itm/Blitz-CNC-A...adio_Control_Control_Line&hash=item3f24bf3738

thats for a dual servo setup
I'm running a strc single arm setup part #stp6037b and a dynamite aluminium steering arm part# dyn2531 all bought from amain for around $20 then to dremeled out bellcranks until they stopped hitting the bulkheads,dead easy and now the steering is so crisp and responsive

So i worked on my steering and tried a few things. I centered the servo and adjusted the linkage so that the bellcrank setup was perfectly horizontal and it did make it even on both locks side to side. But it was still about a 16th from the stops.So i unhooked the linkage and turned it by hand and it hits each stop with ease. So it seems to me like my servo doesn't have the throw? Could i be right? Can i fix this with a better servo? I am running the traxxas 2070 now. Thanks guys for ur help.. Oh and i did notice also my linkage is longer than all the new revo setups I've seen, and my servo goes in backwards from normal 5309s i belive. Mine is the 5308.

 

[TK5310]

Yeah, the TRX servo's have less travel than a lot of aftermarket ones.

 

[Bkyd Basher]

so which descently priced servo should i purchase?

 

[hamz9561]

I used the Hitec HS-5645MG on mine. Decent price for a good servo that works.

 

[chickenman242]

Savox sc 0251 hands down $40

 

[Bkyd Basher]

So i swapped my servo around and put it in the other way and used the shorter threaded linkage rod and was hitting each stop. So i pulled it back out and trimmed the stops and removed the other arm not being used on the bellcrank and shes turnin alot sharper. Still gonna order the aluminum parts name above but I'm good for the moment. Thanks alot guys.

I think traxxas have turned the servos around in the later model cause my revo has the longer steering links and I just bought a new bellcrank setup for my slayer build , using a revo bellcrank and that came with 2 shorter links
