Default servo Issue.

This is my first time built of anything of the sort. I have finally got my chassis completed well 90% anyways other than cosmetics. Here's the situation. My motor is mounted normal front the back in the front where it would normally be. My steering servo is mounted perpendicular to the motor right in front of it. Center on the servo is turned all the way to the right on power up. So I flipped the servo (newb) and then it was turned all the way to the left. I took the servo out of the vehicle thinking the servo was bad. I put another Servo in it, same thing. This is a first-time build and also a scratch build no kit. I have seen photos of the servo being mounted the way I did it and it must have worked for them. I am wondering why my Center is turned all the way in One Direction or the other? And is there anyway I can fix this issue electronically without being a genius LOL. Thank you for your time and info in advance.

Center on the servo is turned all the way in One Direction or the other when mounted. It's not in the controller. Reason I don't want to reconfigure the servo Mount is I had to cut the frame 4 * to fit it properly and if I move it it will look like crap.

Lightbulb Re: servo Issue.

If i understand you right............To find the center of a servo I hook it up before i mount it in the frame Start the transmitter make sure the adjustment is neutral let the power on to the ESC and the servo center it self. Put the servo horn on like it should sit when it's in the model.Good luck.
