still Steering help
I've got a redcat volcano SV only had for three days. I'm happy with the speed but need help with the steering. It is not the best unless i'm almost stopped it does not turn very well is there anything i can do to improve it ?

4 wheel drive rc's and most any rc in general will have a wide turning radius if you are going at high speeds, if at a low or slow speed, it will make nice tight turns, you can adjust your camber to a little in so the inside of the tires grab a little more when in a turn.

RE: still Steering help
Weeze...
Upgrading the Steering Servo is always a Good Thing, but the Truck should steer just fine even with the Stock servo (as long as it is not Fried).
When you say it doesnt steer well, what, Exactly do you mean?
Example: The Truck turns to the Left , but barely turns to the Right.....
Example: When driving the truck in the Steet in front of my House, the truck will not complete a 180 turn without hitting the curb....
If you can be more Specific, it will make it easier for us to Help you out........

Redharris your 2nd ex. of the 180 turn is close to what i've got happening. My yard where i'm driving has a hill and the truck will not steer up hill unless all most stopped. This steering problem is probably and sounds normal i thought i would ask. You guys seem to now this truck very well.

OK i Found the servo save. If my Truck is sitting on a cardboard box and I turn the remote steering the wheels hardly move. But if i pick the truck front end up it works find. I replace the servo with The hs645mg. How do I adjust the servo save and how do i know it when it's right.

Brother Bonkas is having problems VERY similar to yours.....
His Truck is pretty much the Same as yours, and learning from his Trials could save you some Time, Money, and Frustration....
