Default Re: ScaleART - Assembling a MAN TGX/XL 6x6 tractor & Trailer

So, plugged in all the servos to check where they go. Switched on receiver and sender, and did a quick check of all the functions.



Then unplugged them all to be able to check them one by one and adjust the settings.

Started with the centre diff lock. As you can see the servo swings too wide which puts too much stress on it.



For this we have to go in the programming of the sender for that servo.



Press the OK button to enter menu for that Servo



Scroll down until we find the servo adjustments



Press OK and enter the settings



That done, on to the rear differential which needed the servo reversed since activating the rear diff lock released all tension on the cable

Same thing, enter menu, scroll down to find the adjustment and make the change (the pre loaded program is not 100% right)







After this, on to adjusting the swing of the servo, but after a couple of adjustment the servo stopped responding ... so one dead servo ... not too happy about that.

Then more misery, the front diff lock servo (yup the one the fuel tank) pulled the same stunt ... so that one dead as a dodo too ...

Have one spare one (from the Arocs trailer coupling I didn't use) and ordered 2 replacements - just in case.

Opened up the servo from the rear diff and but can't see anything burned. Guess just bad luck. Neither servo been under stress either (not like the one I burned out in the Arocs)





Well that throws a wrench in the works ... have to wait at least 2 - 3 weeks for those 2 servos to make it here ... Not too happy at the moment.
