You need to adjust the servo endpoints.

 

[Camaroboy383]

End points are key...

 

[JaySimm]

I've set the end points
Just got the third and its now binding up with a loud screech like sound when I turn ( more when turning to right) then freezes up with the sound. From what I see it's the servo that's making the sound and causing bind when servo is not connected the wheels turn fine.

If you remove the horn from the servo does the servo still bind and whine?

What servo are you using?
If it's a Spektrum one and these are all replacement of the same model, that is your problem.
The stock Spektrum is known to be bad.

Check your entire steering system for anything binding. Double check your servo saver.

No it just sounds normal... but as soon put on the arm it tightens back up

The 1st was yeah spektrum the second eco power

This might sound stupid, but when you take the servo horn off the servo, do the wheels turn freely??? Side to side, not round and round! Haha if not, the pillow balls are too tight… hence the noise…

Never mind, just seen you did state they move freely… sorry…

Do you have the fixed link on the right side of the servo arm?

 

[JaySimm]

Yes on right side and now there's nothing when I turn on car no sounds movement nothing

 

[arrma only fans]

make sure everything is smooth and endpoints are set.

 

[jkflow]

With servo unplugged?

 

[arrma only fans]

With servo unplugged?

ya, make sure there is nothing jammed in there or blocking it. and there is minimal friction.
