LegoFanatic Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Hi im new and was needing help with my project I cant seem to get the steering on my build to work it. the steering servo keeps meshing with the rack or it skips it altogether and wont stay centred. please help Quote
TheMindGarage Posted June 6, 2016 Posted June 6, 2016 Could you post a picture of your setup? That would make things easier. Common fixes for steering systems: Is the gear driven by the servo supported on both sides of the gear? If not, extend that axle and add structural support on the other side of the mechanism. Gears supported on both sides mesh much better. Is the rack guided properly? Wriggle the rack and see how much give it has. You ideally want no give - use structural beams to keep the rack in place and stop it from moving backwards and forwards. Is the gear the right size? If you have tried everything above and it still won't work, try moving up a gear size (from 8t to 12t for example). It should be a snug but not difficult fit. Quote
LegoFanatic Posted June 7, 2016 Author Posted June 7, 2016 Hi thanks for replying I had to turn the front beams on there side so i could supported the steering better and it worked great no more meshing. thx Quote
