Have you checked everything that needs to be checked? Have you tried a different servo? Have you messed with your TX at all? What does it do when trying to steer it with the wheels off the ground? Does the servo make noise? Does it sound like the gears stripped out?

You have to be your own mechanic and troubleshooter.

Maybe your sent on has dreams of being a nascar

1/10 are notorious for getting bedis in holes under car,rocks,sticks,grass can cause binding causing steering not to work

Different car, but I have had a was of grass/strings get stuck behind a wheel hex that would make the wheel bind... Wheels turned fine on the bench, but when running, if that tire was the outside wheel, it would not turn, the truck would go straight...

Also, the servo gears are probably stripped. Gears are fine for right turns, but the teeth for left turns are broke off. happens a lot with plastic gear servos.

First thing to check is the steering trim button on the transmitter. Next check for rocks or debris blocking the steering assembly. If the wheels turn both ways when you lift the car off the ground, it's probably a weak servo. The final check would be to dissassemble the ESC/servo module so you can check if the servo servo saver is stripped and if the servo only turns one way even when it's not attached to anything else. If the servo only turns one way when unattached, the servo is fried.

Yea it seems dead. Its the original servo and its the older version of the senton. Its held long but i guess it's time has come. Oh well.

Holy damn! Thats a fast notorious! But the senton truly is one of the best starter cars. I see youve removed the shocks, wonder what happens when you hit a bump

Try not to hit bumps,at 90 shocks don't do much anyway...I've built some insane sentons,couple 8s ones..lol

8s Sentons??!! Would love to see one in action. Seems like a bit too much power . I wanted to build my 3s into a 4s since more power would just be overkill on such a small car . What tires you using on your exb?

 

[K-BASH]

That's a v2 senton 6s, proline mxm2s

8s to heavy for off road
