I've no idea whats going on or how to use this servo checker but something seems wrong with my outcast 1/5. It's a brand new truck been out once with it, when I turn it on the steering goes full right lock. Now I have the servo checker on it can anyone tell me what it means, or what it's telling me?
 
If it goes to full right at power up, means that the servo horn was put on the servo when the servo wasn't centered. Before doing so make sure you power up the servo, make sure the trim is set to zero/center like what @9x19 said, remove servo horn. Reinstall it at closest from being straight up/down, or in equal to the steering rack, put the horn back on and it should be ready to go. 😉
 
"...been out once with it" means what? I'm not sure if the issue occurred after your first run or your issue was straight outa da box. If servo horn was not put on correctly from factory... shame on Arrma and quality control 🤢🤮 It sucks that a lot of RTR manuals don't give instructions on how to fix basic problems when the RC platform is not quite "ready to run" from the factory. Even the top tier kit manuals are lacking with servo horn orientation instruction. Very basic...
