e) Setting the Servo Saver
The steering of the vehicle is designed as an axle leg
steering. The movement of the steering servo acts on the
servo saver via a servo rod.
The servo saver is made up of two parts that turn against
each other that are not stiffly connected but that can be
moved against each other via an inclined area. A spring
compresses these two rotating parts.
When hard impacts are transmitted via the steering
mechanics during operation, they are not immediately
transmitted to the steering servo, but are absorbed with
the help of the resilient connection of the two parts of the
servo saver.
The servo saver effect can be set with a knurled screw (A).
The press-on pressure of the servo saver changes during this, so that the two parts of the servo saver are harder or
easier to twist against each other.
The manufacturer has already selected the best setting for the servo saver. Adjustment of the setting is
therefore usually not required.
When this is set too softly, even light impacts against the wheel will cause the two servo saver parts to twist,
which will negatively influence steering accuracy and track during driving.
However, if it is set too tightly, the servo drive may be damaged because impacts against the wheels are
passed on to the wheels unfiltered.
