Title: How do you slow a servo down
Post by: terry1956 on May 11, 2023, 07:11:12 pm

Hi out there, I have a club 500 and the rudder action is just far to fast. I am using a cheaper flysky transmitter and I don’t think that I can adjust the servos by adjusting the transmitter. So how can I slow the rudder action down. Thanks

Not sure why you’d ever wish to slow down a rudder servo. What you’re after is adding exponential, which will soften the rudder inputs around centre stick. Which tx is it?

Something such as this might work for you.

It will slow a servo, but that is not going to produce a desirable effect on a model, especially something like a club 500.


For example, releasing the stick on a straight out of a corner will always cause a vast oversteer

e.g. Slow down the guns training on target, on big battle wagons
