E-REVO BRUSHLESS • 25

BASIC TUNING ADJUSTMENTS

DUAL SERVO STEERING SYSTEM

E-Revo uses dual-servo steering and a single heavy-duty servo 
saver for powerful, responsive steering. To prevent unnecessary 
receiver battery drain it is important to make sure that the servos 
are “at rest” when the steering is at neutral. If  one servo is out of 
adjustment, then both servos will work against each other, fighting 
to find center. 

Adjusting The Steering System

1.  Remove the servo horns and steering links from the servos.  

Disconnect the steering links from the servo saver.

2.  Adjust both the steering 

links to be the exact same 
length (31.7mm - use 
“Steering Link Length 
Template” to set length).

3.  Switch on the power to the 

receiver and the transmitter.

4.  Turn off TSM (see page 15).
5. Adjust the steering trim on the transmitter to the neutral “0” 

position.

6.  Connect one end of a steering link to the steering  

servo saver arm and the other end to the servo horn.

7.  Position the steering servo saver arm perpendicular to the 

centerline of the vehicle.

8.  While holding the steering 

servo saver arm in the position 
mentioned in step 6, install the 
servo horn onto the servo such 
that the steering link is parallel 
with the centerline of the vehicle. 
This will automatically set the 
servo horn at the 7-degree offset 
shown in the illustration.

9.  Install the second servo horn on 

the other side following the same 
procedure.

If necessary, fine-tune the length of the second steering link to 
eliminate any load on the steering system in the neutral position.
If you are using aftermarket servos, it is important to use servo 
horns designed for E-Revo. Optional steering servo horns are sold 
separately for use with non-Traxxas servos.

Servo Saver Tuning

An optional stiffer spring is available for the servo saver when 
using servos with metal gear sets (see parts list for details). Do not 
use this spring with standard Traxxas high-torque servos.

Maximum Travel Steering (optional)

The stock E-Revo steering system provides 
a good balance between steering sensitivity 
and turning radius. E-Revo includes an 
optional maximum travel steering stop 
which can be installed for maximum 
steering throw, which may be desired in 
racing applications.  This provides sharper 
turning at low speeds, but also makes the 
steering more sensitive at high speeds. 
To increase the steering 
throw, replace the stock 
steering stop with the 
included maximum travel 
steering stop on the model.  
This part has modified 
steering stops to allow 
increased travel.  Once 
installed, reposition the 
steering links to the outer 
holes on both steering servo 
horns. Refer to the exploded 
views included with the 
model to assist installation.
