    Anyone knows how to reset the steering servo??

    I drove my MERV over the weekend, I don't think that I had any big smash. When I got home, I realised that the front wheels are not straight. I checked for any bent or broken parts but couldn't find any.

    Can someone show me how to reset the steering servo to make the wheels straight?

    Have you checked the steering trim on the remote?

    You might just need to replace the servo. I just made a deal to take a 1/16 Brushless MERV for a set of cornhole boards and when I tested the truck before agreeing to the trade it had the same issue. Ended up the guy had to replace the servo.

    What you can do is detach the servo horn from the servo, switch the car on and center the trim on the transmitter, attach the servo horn while holding the wheels as straight as possible. Maybe the servo horn just jumped a tooth.
    Nobody is born with experience.

    Check if your front bulkhead is broken, it usually affect the whole steering post to became uncentered..
