Tamiya F350 - need help
 

So I just finished assembling my truck and added the MCU2 (haven't wired the lights yet) but anyhow, I am having electrical problems. the truck turns on and will go forward and backward but the servos are jacked up. my steering servo is reversed so when I turn left the truck goes right and vice versa. the transmission shift servo isn't moving enough to get the truck out of second gear. What am I doing wrong? I haven't messed with RC in about 15 years now and trying to troubleshoot this thing has me at my wits end.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Depending on the radio, you have some options:

-You can reverse the servo direction in the radio. It may be in a menu or a switch for that channel.
-You may have "EPA's" on the various channels. EPA = End Point Adjustment. Upping the EPA on the shift channel (if you have one) may fix the issue, or, try a longer servo arm.

What radio??

I will look through the controller manual and see if I can find what you are referring to.

Manual..... http://manuals.hobbico.com/fut/4gwd-manual.pdf page-22 shows channel reversing as well as channel EPA's.

Awesome help. reversed the controller for the steering and after a full trouble shoot of the shift servo I think it was just that I overtorqued the screw holding the control arm on. As soon as I loosened it a bit everything works great. Thanks again. Now time to convert it to a drone and let it drive itself... Arduino and ultrasonic sensors...
