Steering issue on AXIAL SCX24

[whileoutriding]

Hi! I recently bought an AXIAL SCX24 1967 CHEVY for my son.

We are new to rock crawlers and are having an issue. When we turn on the receiver, after a second or so, the steering/wheels jump suddenly all the way to the far right, to the point that adjusting the steering trim (to the left) doesn't centre the wheels fully again. As a result, the truck doesn't steer in a straight line.

Is there a way to 'reset' this? It didn't do this out of the box. One day we turned it on, and it started to do this, maybe a few weeks into owning it.

Everything else appears to be working fine.

Thanks in advance!

Try rebinding the radio.

Id check battery voltage .. Id also turn trim down to 0 then remove servo horn and center horn again..

Thank you. I will try these and report back!

So, it seems that re-adjusting the steering horn worked! We had to remove a retaining screw that holds the horn in place, then careful pull off the remaining plastic 'wedge' that it sits in, with some pliers. Re-align the wedge, then screw the horn back in. Thanks for your advice!

I'm a bit confused as to how it jolted so far out of place so far.

Make sure that the spline on the servo & servo horn is not stripped ,some times they will
strip out ,an cause the steering to walk around!..

Is there a way to fix this without replacing the servo?

Welcome. This is an old thread. You'll get better responses if you go make your own thread in the crawler forum. Make sure to detail your problem, and post pictures as they help a lot.

And go introduce yourself to the group. There are a lot of mini crawler guys here that love meeting new mini crawler guys
