Axial wraith not turning

[Wraithcrawler123]

I just recently got an axial wraith for christmas and today i dont know what happened i try to turn it left it wont work i try to turn it right it wont work. So then i lifted the front wheels off the ground and it will turn but it wont stay straight when i let go of the wheel. any suggestions. P.s. its the rtr completely bone stock

Check to see if your servo horn is tight. Sounds like it is either loose or you may have stripped it.

Sounds like servo arm is stripped. Snag an aluminum one and you will be good to go.

My RTR had a crap servo horn out of the box too. Pull the servo horn off, check it out, and put it back together. When you do that make sure you turn everything on and center the steering servo with 0 trim. Then when you put it on you'll need to center it back because you're always a half a spline off

im pretty newbie with this stuff so i am kind of confused

Servo horn is the plastic arm that connects the servo gear to the steering linkage. The servo is the little box bolted to your front axle that makes the noise when you turn. The plastic teeth in the horn often strip so the servo just spins inside of it instead of moving the arm left to right

so should i go ahead and order an aluminum then i cause i just took a look and its stripped

 

[Wraithcrawler123]

Since it's stripped, then yes, get a new one so you can turn. I would recommend an aluminum clamping type servo arm/horn. I usually use one made by GHRacing (AKA, Golden Horizons Racing). You need to see the "spline count" to get the correct one though.8)

when u get a new horn does it have to be meant for the same servo or brand or just the same number of teeth

 

[stanmondz]

just the number of teeth,brand dont matter. iv never had a axial servo, so i cant help ya with tooth count

 

[Wraithcrawler123]

thanks guys i appreciate it most come with about 25 teeth by the way
