Having trouble with my servo from CPE...

[Kanine38]

I can't get my steering servo to turn sharp enough. I made a tie rod link to swap sides and connect to the RF knuckle but it didn't help. I checked my limits on my Futaba PM3, but that wasn't it. Maybe the stock horn isn't long enough so it can't get the reach? I'm starting to think that may be the cause.

Anyone have any issues like this or with this servo?

Here are the specs on the servo below.


This standard-sized analog servo features:

- Full metal gears with bearings
- Multiple servo horns and mounting hardware. Servo uses Futaba servo horns.
- Standard size: 1.6”x0.8”x1.5” (40.8x20.1x38mm)
- Weight: 1.98 oz (56g)
- Operating Speed @ 5V: 0.18sec/60 deg.
- Operating Speed @ 7.2V: 0.16sec/60 deg.
- Stall Torque @ 5V: 208 oz-in (15 kg/cm)
- Stall Torque @ 7.2V: 224 oz-in (16.1 kg/cm)
- Operating Voltage: 5-7.2V

exactly right you need a longer horn. if your going to buy one just get a metal one though.

Thanks. That's what I thought.
