j) Servo Function Check
Steering servo
The steering servo is connected to channel 1 of the remote control
transmitter, the steering wheel.
Structure of steering
The steering of the vehicle is designed as an axle leg steering.
The track rod levers are connected via the right and the left track rod with
one servo saver each on the right and left.
The servo savers consist of two levers aligned at a right angle to each
other, which can be moved against each other on a plane via a spring.
The swivelling motion of the servo control lever acts on one of the arms
of the left servo saver via the steering linkage. The second arm of the left
servo saver aligns the left track rod and is at the same time rigidly
connected with the corresponding arm of the right servo saver. The right
track rod is connected to this lever arm.
With the rigid connection of the two lever arms, the swivelling motion of
the servo control lever results in the steering angle of both wheels.
If the other way around a blow on the wheels acts on the track rod and
the second arm of the servo saver via the track rod levers, the elastic
connection to the first lever arm of the servo lever prevents this blow
from being directly transmitted to the servo and damaging it.
The servo savers' effect can be adjusted with knurled nuts by changing the contact pressure.
Optionally, you can also install a second steering servo.
Function control
• Support the model at the front in a way that allows the wheels to hang freely.
• Due to the good traction of the wheels and the weight of the vehicle, the wheels would not follow your steering commands spontaneously and directly while the
wheels stand still on the floor. This however changes during operation.
• First switch on the transmitter, then the receiver.
• Move the steering wheel (channel 1) towards the right and the left.
• Now the wheels must turn towards the right and the left!
• If the wheels turn in the opposite direction, switch the servo reverse on the remote control to the "REV" position (reverse).
• Release the steering wheel; now the wheels must return to the straight position. If the wheels do not point exactly forward when the steering wheel is in neutral
position, correct the trimming on channel 1. Turning the steering wheel all the way to the left or the right should also turn the wheels all the way to the left or
right!
Throttle/brake servo
The throttle/brake servo is connected to channel 2 of the remote control.
Effect of the throttle/brake linkage
With the throttle/brake linkage two functions are carried out at the same time via two servo steering levers.
The air supply to the engine is regulated by the throttle linkage by twisting the throttle valve, . At the same time, the quantity of fuel that flows through the
carburettor changes. If the throttle linkage is moved further than the idle position (mechanical limit stop of the carburettor slide), the servo lever pushes against
a spring buffer. Now the sphere of action of the brake linkage becomes effective.
The carburettor and the position of the adjustment rings (the mechanical limit stops) of the stop spring on the throttle linkage and on the brake
linkage are adjusted in the factory and adapted to the mechanical limit stops of the carburettor and the disk brakes.
Do not change these settings initially!
Full throttle: Throttle valve fully opened, brake has no effect
Idle speed: Throttle valve almost fully shut, adjusting rings at the brake lever are loose.
Brakes: Carburet throttle control presses against spring resistance Rear brake linkage applies the adjusting ring against the brake lever. Brake action is active.
