[@NicolasT94]

Question Grandad, my Pagani Huayra has the same adjuster. Whats the purpose of it? Make the car steer biased to left or right?

[@NicolasT94]

PS. Subbed, you make pretty interesing videos!

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

Yes, the spring returns the steering to the centre and the adjuster helps you trim that centre position.

[@NicolasT94]

GrandadIsAnOldMan Awesome, thank you.

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

[@KHollow4444]

Hey got an new one and it only steers about 10 degrees. Seems very rigid. Any tips on how to Fix it?

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

All I can suggest is that you check all the moving parts to see if there is anything tight causing friction. The wheels may even be rubbing against the bodywork.

[@cjdoesitall]

Question do you have to keep the knob because it restricts my turning

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

The purpose of the spring and the pin is to return your steering to the centre. Without it you will find it impossible to drive straight as the steering will stay wherever you last turned. So if you turn left the car will keep going left until you turn right. It will then continue to turn right until you turn left. There will be no centre point. Take it out and find out for yourself. The pin is shaped so that if you twist it to one side it moves the 'return position' slightly to left or right to allow you to correct the car's steering if it drifts slightly when it should be going straight.

[@cjdoesitall]

Thank you

[@MaajidVorajee]

Hi thank you i have repaired my sons Winner Racing 3 radio control Toy Electrical Car - Orange somehow he broke the steering adjuster and with the help of you i fix it but now the front wheels are not working by remote

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

Sounds like a wire may have fallen off the steering motor.

[@JonathanSantiago-y7v]

My brother recently got a remote control car and when I press forward the front wheels go left and right when it’s supposed to go forward.any idea how to fix it?

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

The most likely issue is that your controller does not match the car so you should find another controller. You could just swap the motor wires on the receiver so the forwards backwards motor is fed from the left right output. There is a potential problem there in that some receivers provide less power to the steering output, compared to the drive motor.

[@stevosstevos]

I took apart my kids (cheap) rc cars today to try and rectify the steering mechanism. I didn't have much luck as they still can barely turn. When they were new, on Christmas Day, they could make sharp turns. But now they can almost only travel in straight lines. Not much fun to play with. Could it be an inferior spring problem? And ideas?

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

My first thought is that the spring is what returns the steering to the centre so if they tend to travel in straight lines and NOT turn then it won't be the spring return that is the problem. More likely the batteries have run down and there is not enough power to drive the steering motor to it's full range. OR the steering has taken a battering over Christmas and may be damaged or clogged with dust, fluff, and hair so a bit of cleaning might help. Even just a layer of dust on the tyres will reduce the grip for turning.

[@stevosstevos]

Thanks very much for your quick reply. I replaced the batteries and did a general clean and they are much better now. Much appreciated

[@ModestosStavrakis]

Had the same problem, just fixed my kids rc. General rules: do not over-tighten the spring, good lubrication with a thin grease, new batteries.

[@himanisingh7276]

Very helpful

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

Thank you

[@rc3151]

Sooo basically this is the exact system that is I the small scales isn't it? Could you use a speed controller to adjust a system like that to be proportional ish that way?! I wonder if that is how the Q32 from Hpi racing did it? Anyhow great video love your channel. Thanks for sharing

[@GrandadIsAnOldMan]

You can use two ESCs, one for the drive and one for the steering. Yes, it does give you a degree of proportional steering. Here are a couple of projects I did with that method (I have done rather a lot of them) kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJPHYnmje9erh80 kzbin.info/www/bejne/maK0gYyMipmKoaM However if you are going to that length to give it hobby grade control you might find it more rewarding to go a bit further and fit a proper servo for the steering. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poCVZmWwlrSfkNk
