steering servo pulling hard left

[GM182]

I've not posted on this board before but at Christmas the missus kindly bought me a Tamiya Gravel Hound. I had the Midnight Pumpkin as a child but never built a kit before.

Anyway, it's now finished (yeah, six months not too impressive I know ) but the steering servo is pushing full lock left and I don't know why. With the trim maximum right and the steering stick maximum right it will just about go in a straight line.

This is clearly not right! I have reset the acceleration and reverse on the receiver and tried reversing the wire from the servo into the receiver but no dice.

I am sure everything is physically fitted correctly - does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Any hints or ideas welcome.

Undo the servo saver or pushrod from the servo, power up the radio gear and centre the steering trim, re-attach servo saver, voila, should sort it. Else you have interference or a duff servo.

Hope this helps.

That should sort it. Basically you don't attach the servo saver until you have switched on the radio gear and let the servos find their neutral positions

A bit of a newbie query so thanks for the answers gents.
