Hello all!
New to the forum and new to Arrma vehicles.
I used to race 1/10th buggies many years ago and have dabbled on and off with RC cars for years... however I have never come across a problem like this with my new Talion..
When first powering it up the servo turned hard left. I checked the trim on the transmitter, which was all centered. I then used the trim dial to centre the steering but this resulted in no longer being able to achieve full right lock as the servo reached the end of its travel prematurely.
I assumed that the steering horn had been attached without being centered, so I re set my trim and moved the steering horn round a few splines to achieve centered steering. This all seemed to work fine after this. I took the car out and I everything worked as it should for a while until suddenly the steering randomly went full left lock again and stayed there. This appears to be its new default centred position. (Which is probably back to factory set centre)
There appears to be something wrong with the servo which randomly sets itself off centre. I can’t keep changing the steering horn position as this doesn’t fix the issue - which as demonstrated can at anytime right itself or revert to offset at anytime. This simply can’t happen on a car capable of 70mph!!!
Contacted Arrma customer support and they unhelpfully told me to take it and have it Evaluated where I bought it!
This isn’t going to happen as I ordered it online in about the only place I could still find on in the U.K. which is the other end of the country.. Plus everything is shut and still in lockdown for the Coronavirus.
Anyone have any insight into where the problem lies?
I have a new TX/RX and servo on the way to replace the poor radio gear that it comes with. In the mean time I’d just like to be able to use the thing a bit!
