| 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.

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...
