Installing a steering servo in an RC car is not as difficult as it may seem. The process is relatively straightforward and requires only some minor mechanical skills. With the right parts and a few simple tools, you can have your car up and running quickly.
To begin, you will need to determine what type of servo your car uses. This information is usually printed on the servo itself or in the instruction manual that came with your RC vehicle.
Once you have determined the type of servo, you can purchase the correct parts needed for installation. This includes a mounting plate, mounting hardware, and screws.
Next, you should locate the mounting holes located on your RC car’s frame or body. These are usually located near where the wheels attach to the frame or body. If they are not marked, look for small indentations that indicate where screws should be placed.
Once those holes are located, attach the mounting plate to them using the provided screws and nuts or bolts. Be sure to use thread-locker on all screws to ensure a secure fit.
Now it is time to attach the servo itself to the mounting plate. Place the servo onto its designated spot on the mounting plate and secure it using additional screws and nuts or bolts with thread-locker applied. Make sure that all connections are secure before moving forward with installation.
Connecting The Wires
The last step in installing a steering servo in an RC car is connecting its wires correctly. Locate where all of your steering wires are routed from your receiver box or controller box (if applicable) to your motor box (or motor controller). Take note of which wire corresponds to which terminal on each component before disconnecting them.
Once all wiring has been identified, disconnect them from each component one at a time and connect them directly into your new steering servo’s terminals according to their respective colors. Double check all connections before powering up your vehicle.
Conclusion
Installing a steering servo into an RC car is relatively easy when following these steps. By determining what type of servo you need for your vehicle, locating correct mounting screws/holes, attaching it securely with hardware provided, and properly connecting its wires according to their colors – you will be able to enjoy driving around in no time!
