I love my EXB. But it's undriveable as it currently sits.
The steering is.... suggestive at best. Mostly when turning right. And that's what perplexes me the most. I can barely steer right, even when moving. Left turning is less of an issue, but still sucks. I know at least some of the fault is the servo saver (see second video). The saver is activating even though the truck is only resting on it's own weight. You can see the spring going down and the two pieces separating. And ONLY when turning right.
I also know some of the fault is with the servo. You can see in the second video that the plastic case top is flexing under steering. **Top quality cheapo servo** for the win. I will get that sorted out by getting another servo. But why is the servo saver strongly engaging when turning right not left? Is there anything else that i'm missing here?
I've read several threads about shimming the servo saver spring to tighten up steering slop, and I can do that. But this doesn't feel like "sloppy" or "loose" steering, this is bordering on "not steering".
