Vorteks Arrma Vortek binding/ servo

[Jwill1316]

Hello all im new to this group but was hoping to receive some help. I have exhausted all option trying to figure out what could be wrong.
This Vortek is brand new out of the box. Car drove fine for about 10 min and now I have complete binding and steering issues. I have tried to bind this without AVC as well as with and I have the same result.
As soon as I bind the front tires turn hard LEFT or RIGHT. As well as while trying to calibrate after binding it will not calibrate properly. Any help would be accepted. I have reset both remote as well as the receiver.
All batteries are new and fully charged. All trims set at recommended positions. AVC 100% Brake trim 100% ST Trim at center or neutral and TH trim at center or Nuetral. Also after trying to bind with AVC I I follow maual procedures full throttle, full reverse after full reverse light goes out on receiver but won't brighten while calibrating full left full right. Also the car will not hold center on the front tires.
Not sure if this is a servo issue or receiver issue. Also a possible remote issue.

I would disconnect the servo horn and turn on the car and let the servo self center. Then reattach the servo horn with the wheel straight.

If that doesn't work and it's a brand new car you might try contacting Arrma to see what they have to say. It could just be a bad servo and should be under warranty.

Never set AVC to 100%. I found in most cases AVC "Gain" works best around 10% or less.
Not that this is directly causing your specific issue there. But it could be one part of it.
I will say that your Steering EPA always needs to be above 80% for the AVC binding procedure. So I would just set ST EPA at 100% during the AVC bind process. Per the Manual, again just for binding purposes. Then you can lower the ST EPA properly as needed afterwards.

This should help. It's possible the servo saver (horn) and/or the servo is damage too and what you are seeing is the result of skipped teeth. When you have the servo disconnected make sure it moves freely through out the range and doesn't make crunchy noises.

He is binding the transmitter and receiver. If the car is on and the transmitter is off, or not bound the servo is whacked before that because it has no input. Once the the transmitter and receiver are bound and both are powered servo should center.

Anyway try it out and see what happens.
