If nothing broke on that side, then check ur steering button/knob on ur remote control or ur servo needs replacing.

 

[Domination]

does the servo just not even atempt to turn to the right or does it try and suddenly at a certain point snap back to the left???

 

[drummerjamesh]

um

well it turns to the right but not as well as the left....

 

[Domination]

if it just bottoms out too soon try takeing your steeringservo arm off put your steering trim at 0 put you steering are back on centered of course then try it, it should turn each way equally

yeah, like domination said, check the linkage of the servo. if it is new like I'm guessing it may be. the servo may just be out of alignment. so do it like this.
1- with electronics all off. take horn off servo (while its of check the splines on the servo adapter and inside the horn.. just in case. never hurts to check)
2- turn radio and reciever on
3- adjust steering trim on radio to centered.
4- turn electronics back off
5- straighten front wheels as much as possible
6 - re attatch horn (making sure to keep wheels pointing straight
7- turn on radio and electronics
8- attempt to turn right and left
9 - fine tune the steering with your adjustment on the radio to reach full center

if this is all done, and it still doesn't turn, your servo may be mangled inside, and its time to invest in one with metal gears (stadium truck steering takes a beating. especially if you're bashing)

p.s. I'm not sayin all this to be a jerk or anything , I'm just laying it out easy because maybe someone doesn't know.

hm...

well it moves fine.... it would even hit the gas tank, but when i but the steering stuff on it won't pull it to turn to the right....
i hope its not messed up because i've only had it since thursday....

 

[Domination]

check all the screws in your steering and make sure none are too tight because that will greatly restrict movement and depending on what TX you have if you have the option of adjust your EPA you might have to turn up the right a lil bit

hey this is worht a try

one time sumtihg like that happened to me, me rc 10 gt turned really far right and barley any to the left, then i took everything apart, and some how i had 2 right knukles, the lil parts that connt wheels to a-arms, and so the will make turn one way better and other not, so check to see if the are both opposite ok get a job

 

[drummerjamesh]

thanks

hey thanks everyone, i took everything off and put it back on and.....it worked...haha so thanks again
