Reely ROAD Rex-X - Setting the Servo Saver

61
e) Setting the Servo Saver
The steering of the vehicle is designed as an axle leg
steering.
The pivoting movement of the servo control lever (A)
has an effect on the steering linkage (B) and on one
arm (C) of the servo saver.
The servo saver consists of two right-angled levers
(C and D), which are not rigidly coupled but can be
moved against each other via a spring on one level
with the steering linkage.
The second lever arm of the servo saver (D) moves
the steering plate (E) which in turn causes the stee-
ringdeectionofthefrontwheelsvia thetwo track
rods (F).
If hard impacts are transmitted through the steering
mechanics during operation, they are not immediately
transmitted to the steering servo, but are absorbed
with the help of the resilient connection of the two le-
ver arms (C and D) of the servo saver.
The effect of the servo saver can be adjusted with a knurled nut (G) by modifying the spring contact pressure on the
two lever arms.
When this is set too soft, even light impacts against the wheel will cause the two servo saver arms to twist, which will
negativelyinuencesteeringaccuracyandtrackduringdriving.
However, if it is set too tightly, the servo drive may be damaged because impacts against the wheels are passed on
tothewheelsunltered.
