Steering Dual Rate - Sanwa M11X Operating Manual

steering Dual rate

The Steering Dual Rate function is used to change the amount of steering servo travel compared to the amount of movement of
the steering wheel. For example, by increasing the Steering Dual Rate, you can make the steering servo travel more which might
prevent your model from pushing during turns. If your model oversteers during turns, you can reduce the amount of Steering
Dual Rate.
1) Set the digital steering trim to '0' using the Trm 1 switch. You can see when the trim reaches
'0' by viewing either of the two trim screens (ST) and/or (TRM-S).

2) Press the Function key to highlight the D-RATE menu. DUAL-RATE will
be active in the Programming Window. As you move the steering wheel
right and left, you can set the bar graph move to the dual rate limit lines.
To adjust the Dual Rate, press the INC/+ or DEC/- keys to increase or
decrease the Dual Rate amount. At this time, set the dual rate to 125%.
This will increase the servo movement by 25% in both left and right
directions.
Pressing both the INC/+ and DEC/- keys at the same time will set the
Dual Rate to the default setting.
D-RATE setting range is between 0% and 150%. The default setting is 100%.
3) Attach the steering linkage to the servo arm per your model's assembly manual.
5) After the Dual Rate has been set, adjust the independent
left and right End Points using the EPA feature. See the next
page for information on setting the EPA.
The Trm 4 switch can be used to change the Dual Rate
setting without accessing the Programming Menu. Push the
trim switch forward to increase the Dual Rate and pull the trim
switch backward to decrease the Dual Rate.
The D-RATE setting can be assigned to
any desired trim switch using the Key
Assign function. See page 51 for more
information.
4) Move the steering wheel right and left to full. If your steering binds at both
ends, this means that you have too much steering servo movement.
Adjust the Dual Rate to decrease (DEC/-) or increase (INC/+) the amount
of steering to reach the steering stops.
Before adjusting the Steering Dual Rate you should adjust the steering
linkage so that when the steering trim is centered, the servo arm is
centered on the servo and both wheels are pointing straight ahead. Doing so
will prevent a lot of steering problems in the future.
