The New SE's Are Great, But.....

[ugh]

I just got Savanna today, and I love it. But I have two problems. Bad Company, please help me out here. First of all, how do I make the car run straight and have it turn the same angle each direction (don't just tell me adjust it, tell me specifically how to adjust it), and how do I make the servo not so loud and "earthquakey" all of the time? And the reverse on my controller seems to stick, I barely press on the reverse, and when I let go, it keeps reversing. Please help me!!

Instead of going thru it again, I'll just refer you here for the adjustment procedure...

The stuttering/chattering you are refering to apparently is normal in the new Zips at least. I was able to get that to quiet down a little through the procedure, but not totally get rid of it.

I have the same problem with the sticky reverse!

If you change it to L/R or R/L or whatever that top switch is.. you get sticky forward!

This problem was only in my savanna so I'm going to email radioshack and ask for a replacement. :T

Stupid question, but did you guys try to adjust your throttle neutral point after changing the L/R - R/L switch? The change may throw off "center" as the trigger has to move in a different direction... It may just be a question of making that adjustment on the controller....

I've been meaning to ask what that neutral thing was for!

I think you're on to something! :D


I will try it out soon as I get back to my apartment... maybe even with a new box of 1'x1' tiles to turn into some race track. :]

Give it a try TobenJunk. There should be full instructions on how to set throttle neutral in the instruction manual... That will probably do you!
