Savox 1258 - Won't centre

[jo90]

I have the above servo and a niggling issue. Im guessing this was caused in a big off as the DEX210 doesnt have room for a servo saver, so im guessing the cause is this.

Fault symptoms are that the pot that controls the servo coming to centre isn't functioning right. It is currently about 20 degree's to the right to stop the servo motor (if placed in dead centre the servo motor just runs)

Effectively this meens with my trim set to L-0, R-0 the car is driving to the right in large circles. Im having to wack on about R-30 trim to get the car straight. This is also effecting the steering end point as it is only just getting full left lock now (the servo is at full turn at this point).

Im guessing the pot is now bust but i wondered if there is any way to replace this at all ? I did take the servo apart but i can't get the pot/motor assembly out, it seems glued in (both motor screws where fully removed)

Any help is gratefull appreciated

cheers

hiya fellas,
sounds like its new servo time, as far as can find there is no spares for the control and drive system in the savox servos , guessing that even if you try and refit the horn with the servo at its new centre point you wont get full travel in one direction, you could try using a longer horn if your chassis will allow and dial down the travel on the one direction that will give too much throw, its a botch fix but will keep you running until you get a new servo and a servo saver type horn.
all the best

Hi are you using a wheel controller,i has the same issue,but found the screw in the center of my wheel had gone tight,this was making the wheel not go back to center,im guessing its not this,but its worth a look and will save you a few quid if it is

Thanks for the replies. Reg no it's the servo itself that is broke. I can manage with it for now but I guess I will have to work out a new one for it.

did you check the gears i have a 1251 that i stripped two teeth so it would slip in a spot to the left but then it still worked and after one bad landing seven teeth broke off and now im replacing the gears and going back with plastic servo horns ide rather strip those than a $20 gear set , i have the 1256 in my dex210 right now and its working fine for me i had it in a sc 4x4 its way more power than needed but speeds alright and its titanium
