Hello, I have Jato 3.3 that I let a friend drive. he slammed it head on into a curb and did some damage. I have replaced all of the broken and bent parts. When I run it, it turns in one direction well, yet doesn't have the same turning radious when going the oposite direction. I have made sure that the servo is centered. Any suggestions?
 
You'll need to remove the servo horn, then center the servo with the radio.
Put the servo horn back on and make your final tweaks with the trim knob.
 
When you have the servo horn off, make sure the trim is centered on the radio. Next, make sure the wheels are pointed straight ahead when you reinstall the horn. Beyond that, you have an alignment issue, or something is hitting and preventing it from going the full distance.
 
thanks. I'll doube check that but I think I did that too. It acts like your pitman armisn't centered in a car. way to much turn one way anot not enough the other. Thanks for your input
 
That's exactly what the servo horn is like, and that's the reason everything needs to be centered on the radio and on the car before reconnecting it.
If you have a computer radio, then you can also adjust your EPAs on the steering.
 
I accidently installed one of my tie rods on the wrong side of the bell crank and it caused full lock one way but hardly any turn the other way on my t maxx . Check to see if your tie rods are on correctly. Good luck bud.
 
Thank you

This is something that might have caused it as I did replace one tie rod. I will double check that tonight and see if that is the problem.
