Question Newbie dumb question...

Hi folks,

Just got done building my first ever kit R/C Axial AX10.
Very nice kit, great quality throughout !!!

After the build I tried running it and the Steering Servo is backwards.
I can easy just set the DX3 to run Reverse Steering but I was wondering
if I might just have the servo itself mounted upside down. I did check the polarity twice to make sure the servo was plugged in correct and it is.

Whatcha think ?

Thanks,
Mike

why not switch the servo reversing switch on the transmitter?

Yeah just use the servo reverse switch. Glad to see you jump into the crawling scene. You'll soon learn that anything goes. The only limits are your imagination.

the servo working backwords is just a thing some cars mount it one way some mount it the other way. there is no right or wrong way to mount a servo they have the same power going both ways. it just depends on the kit that you have and how that kit is set up to mount the servo.

Yup, just reverse it at the radio. That is why that function is built into radios.
