Hey guys, so i'm trying to figure out what could be the issue with my steering. I just bought a new steering servo after the wheels would barely turn left and right but its still doing the same thing, so i really dont know what it could be now. I've tried new batteries in car/remote, new steering servo....could it be the throttle servo causing the steering to act up? its an hpi rs4. Any ideas?

Remove the servo control arm and move the steering by hand. If it's tight, you'll have to isolate the problem. It could also be that the servo saver is too loose.

or you could have your pivots on your spindals set to tight.

Could also be a TX setting. If it accidentally got changed

+1 for the servo saver being too loose. Same thing happened to my nitro 4tec. Tightened it up and steers nice and strong now

well, i removed the servo control arm and watched it, but it still barely turned, so now i'm thinking its something else limiting it...I just got into the hobby, so i'm still trying to learn...what is the TX setting? and i tightened the servo arm and no luck. Anything else yall can think of? thanks guys.
