I got me a new 3PK PCM radio (the one with the big screen TV on the back !) and am setting it up for a Futaba 9602 servo in the car.
Because of where the servo centers itself, and thus where the servo saver ends up (I've tried a couple different teeth on the servo saver), I have to set the steering trim at about 70 or 75 to get the servo saver exctly centered.
I have the D/R set at 35%.
As a result, I have to mess around with the steering EPAs to get the same amount of steering in both directions, given the fact that the steering trim is set so high. It seems like the more steering trim you use in one direction, the less steering you get in that direction, unless you compensate by setting the steering EPA higher in that direction.
For example, if I set the steering trim to the left 75 to center the servo saver, then I have to set the steering left EPA to 120% to get the same amount of wheel travel left as I have to the right -- the the right EPA is set at 60%.
I didn't have to mess around like this to get the same left and right amount of steering with my old Futaba 3PJ, so I'm wondering if I'm missing something here.
Thanks for any help !
