2. The servo will allow greater travel at the rightmost endpoint, before it binds / buzzes, than it will in the leftmost direction. This seems to be common to both vehicles (stock and double-a). Have you observed this on your mr-03's?

I performed surgery on the servo gears today and installed a metal 4th gear from Kyosho (MZW417). I never found the metal 3rd gear mentioned above; not sure it exists.

When installing the metal 4th gear, I had to take apart a good deal of the entire servo mechanism, so I decided to take it all apart and examine what was going on. I'm glad I did. Part of the original plastic 4th gear shredded and the debris was nicely munged into the 3rd gear. Need the old magnifier to clean it, and then I inspected the other gears. I found some debris in the 2nd as well. After doing all that and putting everything back together, which is a bit of a pain, everything is working well.

The steering is much smoother with the metal gear. Despite the laborious installation, I recommend this upgrade.

At first, I didn't agree with this because rather oddly written instructions in the ex-6 manual indicate the proper sequence is to set sub-trim first (pg. 13). I tried your method anyway, and I now disagree with the manual. Sub-trim moves the endpoints in the adjustment direction, which results in having to chase endpoints when using regular trim while on the track.

My sub-trim is now set to zero.
