d) 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 rod
(C) via the servo saver (B). It moves the steering link (E)
for the right and left wheel via an angle (D).
The servo saver (B) 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 through 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 (B).
The servo saver effect can be set with a hexagon socket screw (F) (1.5 mm hexagon wrench needed). 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.
e) Mechanical Lowering
For lowering the chassis, it is also possible to reduce the
rebound clearance mechanically. There is a small adjus-
table grub screw in each of the 4 transverse links for this;
see circle in the figure on the right.
When the grub screw is turned in further, the transverse
link cannot extend as far anymore; this lowers the chas-
sis.
To keep the chassis from touching down, the shock absor-
bers should be set accordingly harder when lowering.
