    Radio gear suddenly opposite

    Hi guys

    I searched here for a while and couldnt find this problem anywhere. I changed batteries in my spartan and for no reason the servo is opposite for the steering now. i steer to the right and it steers left and so on. the throttle is still fine and goes in the right direction

    can anyoen help me on this please.

    I cant find any polarity switched on the hand controller so i am buggered if i know

    cheers

    Did you possibly plug unplug your steering servo at some point during cleanup and when you plugged it back into the receiver it got plugged in backwards?

    Not sure why this happens sometimes with traxxas 2.4 radios but you need to reverse the servo for the steering channel with the transmitter.
    Read your manual and it will tell.you how to navigate through the menu tree with your link radio.just reverse
    The steering channel setting.

    Reprogram your steering through the menu tree in the manual.

    Yes I had the same problem....reverse the steering servo direction through the receiver. Instructions are in the back of the owners manual.

    Yup, I have the same problem.
    What I do now is to plug a separate receiver battery into it. Seems to be working so far.
