    Hard steering Ultrex

    It seems my Ultrex has gotten harder to steer to the right?

    It still works just fine but seems to take more effort to push down on the pedal and turn right,..also seems to make more noise while turning.

    I am worried it will leave me "stranded" in a tournament so I would like to get it taking care of during the off season.

    Cary your remote with you as it should still function if a cable is broken my feeling, but the service motor seaming louder is confusing to my theory.

    Your Remote will still steer and operate the TM and all functions even tho a cable is broken. It's a little more of a challange in the wind, but will get you thru until you can get it fixed.

    I would be speculating if I would say what it actually is. Hard steering in one direction could be a couple of things. I would get it over to the nearest ASC and have them look at it. could be sensor board in the foot pedal or the steering module or both. Make sure there is no obstruction in the way of the foot pedal.

    I agree with this. Too many things that it "could" be to try and diagnose over a board such as this. Should go to an ASC
