MSR problem - right stick, left - right not working?

[fiercebadger]

Howdy,

I have bought an MSR and I have a problem already, the right stick from left to right is not working at all. From looking I think that the left hand servo is knackered, is it possible to replace just the servo, rather than the 5-1?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers guys.

hi there mate i think you will have to fork at 52 pound for a new 5-1

if you just bought it take it back i would

before panicing i would do a rebind and just make sure it isnt a glitch

seems strange. My dad got an MCX and told me he had the same problem it turned out he had got a mode 1

Thanks guys, I have tried re-binding to my DX5e (mode 2), but no luck, I have also investigated further and the motor on the left server seems to be spinning (when I move the wheels off each other), but not moving the arm anywhere, plus, when I move the right lever, left and right, nowt happens!

I bought is second hand from BMFA, so I dont think I have any come back unfortunately.

Can just the servo be replaced, or is it the whole 5-1 that needs to be done?

Ok, just found this, I guess this would fix it, but is there someone I could get to fit it, as I cant solder and dont fancy mucking up the 5-1, now I have seen they cost over 50 squid!

If someone could do it, I could give them some beer tokens if that sounds fair?

Is there a link to this? Could come in handy for me, as I am good at ruining kit.

Thanks for the link, mate. If that's Newquay in Cornwall, if you send the heli & new actuator up to me, I don't mind having a go - I can solder, BTW, I was an engineer for 25 years. Up to you, but I don't mind trying.

No probs. I'll PM my address. Just stick them in the post when you get the spare.

They look the same, Liam, and it would make sense for them to use the same unit, it cuts costs for production, stock handling, etc. I think it's worth a shot.
