SSTE steering issue

[White_Crow_G]

Hi all.
Just realise an issue with steering on my SSTE.
After making a U-turn - car will never go straight.
When i had fun on a grass field - id doesn't bother me..but i get to the track yesterday and it become a real problem for me.
(i've faced same issue with my TT2.0 but there was a bearings on servo-saver)

I've checked all the bearings, ensure that once servo unplugged everything is moving freely.
servo is Servo 9iMod BLSHV35MG180
I've been told that it worth using VS2's servo saver instead stock one. order it, will see, but anyway pbl someone have other thoughts?

Did you order the VS2 Ackermann bar as well? I believe that's the main reason for the mod/hop up/upgrade.

i've been told to literally glue stock servo saver.
Do you think that's the issue?

What's being glued? If glue is being used to make a solid bellcrank, then no, glue will not hold in my opinion. Maybe someone meant to use glue as a threadlocker?

I don't think I would want a completely solid steering bell crank on a larger 1/8 scale truggy. It all depends on how strong the spring is inside the servo saver and if the adjustment collar is tightened up all the way. Sometimes the adjustment collar will loosen up on certain platforms. Some manufactures will design a groove inside the adjustment collar (like on the TT 2.0) for an o-ring to sit... the o-ring is supposed to lessen the chance of the collar loosening. I don't think the SSTE has an o-ring on the adjustment collar. What I'd do if indeed the servo saver keeps loosening is tighten the spring/collar down to where you want it while using threadlocker on the threads to secure the collar.
