hi all ,

few days back I had a crash with my kyosho ultima ,  i observed following impact

1) damaged aluminum chassis and front axle
2) disturbed alignment of the front wheels
3) problem in servo

Although the first two problems seems to be cosmetic and can be solved but the third one seems to be complicated but i hope that with your support i will able to solve.

After the crash my car was dead (not able to run in any direction) but by mistake and in anxiety i recharged my battery several times by which i ruined  my batteries!!

I am planning to get a good 7.2volt 360mh battery this weekend. But before purchasing new batteries i need your help in resolving one issue related to servo , in my opinion there is one nut bolt missing from the circuit place. All radio stuff is working fine and car is able to react right left and front back signals from remote)

Please give your opinion and help me :( will any normal screw will work with this and how to place it perfectly on the circuit plate ? I tried downloading manuals from kyosho web but unable to find details.

In case you need more pictures then please let me know. Because of size constraints I am attaching servo picture only.

I doubt you will have problems.Is the servo working as it used to?Does it center well?

servo mechanism is working fine but the only problem is the placement as in the picture it is not centered because of some missing nut bolt or something , I don't know how it has to be centered and what part is missing..

It looks like your steering linkage has lost its screw.You will need to get a replacement.I'm guessing it should be a metric hex screw.


After a crash,search for parts your car might have lost.

@ iamhuman thanks buddy but is there any workaround solution available ?

iamahuman

Can't really think of one.Any idea what size your screws are?You could try and buy a set of screws from any other manufacturer and try them out.I am not sure since I know the sizes on my car but have not tried other screws.Before you make a move,try to get the kyosho screws for it.Ask Bharat from www.yourhobbyshop.com

@ iamhuman thanks for info brother I am going to manish (rcskyhobby) guy to pick  a new battery pack for this kyosho may be he can help me with the best possible solution.

Try to get it fixed.I'm surprised the servo even moves the steering with a problem in the linkage.
