Post Servo problem.

I put a new servo in my Losi NCR. There is a problem. The servo steers in the opposite direction than the controller. Would any one know the solution to this problem?

Your radio should have a servo reversing switch on it.. flip that switch and you should be good to go.

You will need to check the programming on your controller. There should be a setting to enable channel reversing on the steering channel. This will achieve what you need.

Cheers,
Mike.

I just saw a pic on here where a guy was doing just that,
but he was a lefty, and was holding the radio in the opposite hands,
with the wheel facing the ground.

Looked like it hurt.

I would check into that servo reversing switch on the radio,
as not all servos travel in the same direction for the given signal.

If all else fails, they do make aftermarket servo-reversers.
