Q. My servo does not center properly.
A. There can be several reasons why a servo will not appear to center well, here are some common ones:
| • Wrong servo horn |
Hitec servo output shafts are unique and unlike any other brand of servos. Do not use any horn not specifically |
| • Slop or binding in the linkage |
| Try removing the control linkage from the servo and make sure the steering or control surface moves freely without binding or too much "slop". |
| • Slop or wear in the geartrain |
| Metal geartrains will wear at a greater rate than resin or plastic gear sets. Normal use will result in increased gear lash or "slop" over an extended period of time. |
| • Sloppy servo saver |
| Servo savers, like the Kimbrogh products and others that use a spring to absorb shock through the steering system of R/C cars, trucks and buggies can cause a "double center" condition that will drive you crazy as you chase the center with your radios steering trim. |
