Stock Servo

[Four8s]

My sons stock h8's servo does not work.
He still has full range of forward and reverse.
Also is running on 9.6v.

I disconnected it and pluged in my old
stock servo, which does work, and it
diddnt work either. Must be a problem
with the esc/reciever.

What happend and if I install my spare
esc/reciever what can I do to keep it
from happening again?

Hey,

This happened to me as well. I found that the gear on the stock servo was actually stuck for some reason. I would take the servo apart and try fix it, except i had a HS-81MG so I installed that, but still dont know if I did it right. I have a thread about it a few posts up.

Im sure that isnt the problem. Like I said, the swaped the malfunctioning servo with another and it still did not work. Maybe Ill shoot kyosho an email.

Thanks for sharing your experience though, could come in handy later on.

Hello all. Ok i have quite of experience with rc cars for starters so you can pretty much trust me on my diagnoises of this so called servo problem.What i found out is that most of the time with the inferno that it is'nt the servo that is binding!!!Here is the problem .The two silver post that the stearing linkage connects to, well actually the linkage sits on top of these two post.What happens is dirt and grit gets down between the silver post and the plastic linkage and causes an enormous amount of friction because of the dirt build up. The stearing post are metal but the linkage post are plastic. So what happens is that small amounts of dirt and grit gets inbeded into the plastic thus causing a serious stearing issue.The anwser is to get the integy metal stearing linkage post.I figure that this will completely solve the due to the simple fact that the dirt can not get inbeded into the metal linkage.I just received my second inferno today and after a drive in the dirt the stearing problem began began affecting.

So people stop trashing the servo.Kyosho should have known better than this.If you dont buy the metal linkage you can always widen the the mount hole's on the plastic stearing linkage. I was about to purchase a new servo and esc , that was untill i figured this out ( money saved)lol.Woooo!!!! I figured that Kyosho wouldnt spend money on a total junk radio system .I actually like the system .And to back this issue with dirt I had a similar problem with my mini t, somehow dirt got into my stearing ball cup and caused a serious stearing issue.And yes i swaped servo's and the problem still persisted.So please try this minor mantaince of cleaning the stearing post and post your results. Thanks.

I tried 2 different servos. Pluged each servo into the ESC/RX and did not connect it to the steering linkage. They both did not work properly.

Hello again. in Your case the electronics must be bad. Also make sure that you check your dual rate stearing adjustment, and that you dont have it adjusted for minimal servo travel. ok

Many people think that the servo is bad when the car doesnt turn tight. When it is probably just the dual rate adjustment. I had to clean my left stearing post again today due to grit getting inside of it. I ordered my new all metal stearing setup this morning.

The standard system wasn't bad at all when i was using it,
But yeah as people are mentioning the standard linkage system is horrible, it binds like a mofo!

I am also having trouble with the screws on the actual C hubs to the steering knuckles
They keep coming off!
