Reciever.

I have a arrma talion v3 I am having steering problems since a changed out my chassis to a M2C chassis. It wasn't wanting to turn if not turn at all. So I thought it could have been the servo going out. So I switched the servo and now my servo acts like there is no power going to it. My ESC runs, but my servo wont move at all now. What happened? How do I fix it?

Are you sure it's plugged into the number 1 slot on the receiver?

Also check the dual rate on your radio. It might be turned down.

Yes it in the number 1 slot. It was working before I wanted to take put the servo to see if the servo was going bad

Disconnect the steering arm from the servo horn and see it the servo moves when you turn the steering. Remove this screw:

No, it doesn't move at all with nothing hooked up to the servo.

Well if there is power to the receiver and the dual rate on your radio isn't turned down it is either a dead steering channel (unlikely) or a dead servo (likely). The only other thing I can think of is the servo lead to the receiver got damaged when you swapped chassis. It's easy to pinch the wires and damage them. I've done it.

Ok. I don't see anything pinched. Here is a picture. Another set of eyes might see something. The servo is brand new. I purchased it awhile ago just to have an extra one.

Do you have another to test to rule out things out?

Yes I have tested that one and the one that was in there. Neither one of them are working.

 

[bicketybam]

Maybe the channel is dead then.

So thay would fall under the warranty right?

Probably. Only one way to find out and that is to contact Horizon Hobby. There is a good chance they're going to want you to send it in for evaluation.do you have a receiver in another truck you can swap in just to make sure that is the problem?

 

[slick2500]

It's plugged in wrong. The black wire goes to the outside edge of the receiver that is why it's not working properly.
1 to turn 2 to burn. Black to the outside.

Ok. No. I can take it to the hobby store by my house and see if they can test it. Thank you for your time. You have been a great help.

Nice catch @slick2500. @Gadson26, your esc plug is backwards, so it doesn't matter which way you plug in your servo. The plug in channel two needs to be turned around, then plug in your servo and try again.

The first time I replaced my servo the same thing happened to me and it took me a while to figure out what was going on. Then when I saw it I was like

Hahahaha that's funny. I'm new to RC. I really enjoy it. I have replaced my chassis with the M2C one because the original one bent. So I'm in the process of tweaking everything. Just running into so much trouble. Lol your right, when you told me about turning them around I wanted to smack myself. ??
