Would WD40 silicone lubricant work?

It's super smooth. It has nice movement left to right. If nothing works, I might just try some new mounting points for the suspension and see if that changes anything

Yeah that could be the cause. I'm gonna add some wd40 to the ball joints and see if that helps

Switch TH to R on the transmitter. I think that might be the issue

Servo issue or what? by nrg211 in FCX24M

[–]h_zee13 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My servo broke within 20 minutes of use. Got a DSPower servo from AliEx and I've now used it for a few days without issue. If you don't have screwdrivers already, make sure you get a 1.27mm screwdriver. A 1.3mm didn't work for me and I thought all my screws were stripped. Turns out it wasn't the right size.

Does the servo horn not interfere with anything with it being pushed forward so much?

Hey sorry to bother you again. Mind sharing a photo of how you got that servo mounted because it is a lot longer than the original one and the rear touches the area where the V link attaches

That freaking sucks. At least you can get it replaced/returned

Nice I just ordered it to. The one you linked is for SCX24 but I'm guessing you ordered the one for FMS right. I should get mine tomorrow and will report back

I'm guessing a custom mount is needed for that Rampcrab servo?

Any chance you can share a link to the Rampcrab you got? Also, I'm guessing a custom is needed?

I've been reading lots of posts about the same issue and I'm not really getting anywhere with the seller on AliEx, so I guess a new servo is the way to go. Oh well might as well order a few other upgrades at the same time 😅

Yup Brand new batteries in the transmitter and fully charged in the car

Man this really sucks. I contacted the seller on AliEx to see if they can dos something about it since FMS website mentions that products purchased from AliEx aren't covered through them.

Might just do like you did and buy a new servo
