Adjusting the Steering System
1. Disconnect the short steering link that connects the servo saver
to the servo horn.
2. Remove the drag link that connects the two servo horns.
3. Remove the servo horns
4. Connect a pair of charged batteries to the ESC. Turn on the
transmitter, then the ESC. Note: It is recommended to unplug
the motors or remove the pinion gears during steering setup.
5. Adjust the steering trim on the transmitter to the
neutral “0” position.
6. Install both servo horns. Make sure they are parallel to the
center line of the chassis (pointing to the rear of the truck).
7. Connect the short steering link from the servo saver to the
servo horn. Make sure the servo saver is parallel to the center
line of the chassis (also parallel to the servo horns). If not,
make small adjustments to the length of the link so the
everything is parallel.
8. The steering should operation correctly with equal travel left
and right. Now connect the second servo.
9. Confirm the length of the center drag link (89.5mm - see
template, below).
10. Connect the center drag link to one of the steering servos.
Check for alignment with the holes in the second steering link.
If these do not line up, make small adjustments to the length of
the link until the holes line up.
11. Connect the center drag link to the second steering
servo horn.
12. If necessary, fine tune the length of the center link to eliminate
any load on the steering system in the neutral position.
If you are using aftermarket servos, it is important to use servo
horns designed for E-Maxx. Optional steering servo horns are sold
separately for use with non-Traxxas servos.
