I mounted one on my clod that I have been building. It does not seem to want to snap the rear steer back to center as fast as the front and it wants to kinda crabwalk for several feet. There is some sort of adjuster screw on it but no instructions on what it does or which way to adjust it. Any ideas or input would help alot.

like Von said I think the screw is for adjusting the center or trim on the rear servo...

are you using a battery pack to power the servos or the BEC? If your using the BEC you might not have quite enough power to operate two servos at their peak... most BEC's only put out a max of 5 volt and usually 1amp or so. A receiver pack will give you 6 volts and a bit more amperage...

Yeah, I figured out that the adjuster controls the trim, but the way I have it wored it controls the front servos trim. I do not have a BEC, and am running 14.4v, so there is more then enuff servo power. What I did was set the trim off the radio so the rear steer was centered, then used the screw on the harness to center the front. I have yet to run it outside, because it has been pooring down rain for 2 days now and I dont have it waterproofed yet.

Nice y harness be careful though with the trim. Accidently set the screw all the way to the right and when I powered my clod up the rear servo turned to the right and jammed it.
