wraith steering

[4-D]

My wraith was put up last night doing fine..

this morning put a fresh batt in it does forward and reverse fine.

no steering now....checked servo wires seems fine can manually move no binding .
seems like it may want to turn servo bad ???

any help please

[tdevilman2009]

If u have another servo to plug in an try I would start there also might have a broken wire inside the servo had that happen a couple diff times

What kind of ESC do you have and what servo? I just had an issue with my Tekin RS and Hitec HS 7955TG servo. I installed a CC BEC and set it to 6V and she seems good to go again!! Before the servo would just seem to quit after about 10-15 mins of full throttle fun. I thought for sure the servo was toast, I took it apart and all the gears were in perfect condition. Put back together and hooked it back up.....wham it worked like nothing was wrong!! With help from here and Hitec I learned I should use the external BEC because the servo draws more current than the Tekin RS can provide. Hope this helps.

Is your servo horn plastic? It might be stripped out if it is. There might not be anything wrong with the servo, just a stripped horn.

Just a thought.

That is why you get a nice aluminum clamping style horn!! Never worry about stripping again!!

they are the original oem on the wraith

Well if it is the RTR Wraith maybe the servo is shot! Otherwise BEC...not sure what else to suggest. Other than buying a new servo to try.

how do you trouble shoot a servo ??

If i need 1 what do you suggest ..everything is stock what is better than the original

[Johnnysplits]

If you have another servo, try it. If it works, your original is done. Or you could use a servo driver as well. What's better than the original? Almost any other electronics is better than what is supplied with a RTR. How much do you want to spend on a servo?

I went to the servo thread and got a lot of info some confusing being a newb

servo driver ??? iguess this what i bee seing in the servo thread

money not much of a problem just dont want the best for the 1 i am learning on need to spend the money on the build may look at a hitec just want a better than stock to run with what i already have

I am going to build from the ground up buying the componets as i find good prices but want to play now use what i got to play and learn.
