Steering works opposite to the way the wheel is turned at the transmitter

le. If this is not the case, activate the reverse setting for driving at the transmitter.

the model is driven normally. Place the vehicle on an appropriate underground to test the steering (e.g. an assembly
stand) so that all wheels can move freely.
• Ifthetransmitteroffersdualratesettings,checkthesesettings(observetransmitter’soperatinginstructions).Ifthe

The same applies for the so-called EPA setting (= „End-Point-Adjustment“, setting of the end positions for the servo
path to protect the servo mechanics) if present at the transmitter.
• Checkthesteeringmechanicsforlooseparts;e.g.checkiftheservoarmisproperlyattachedtothesteeringservo.
In spite of the servo saver, it is possible that the servo arm breaks or jumps due to hard impact. The same applies
for the gear in the steering servo.
