Typhon Servo???? Has it reached the end of the road???

[NewKratonuser0311]

Looking for opinions I think my servo is gone bad when I physically move the wheels it’s really hard to move the tires and it makes a loud squeaking sound. It’s feels restricted to an extent. I’ll gladly accept all your input. I’ve had the Typhon 6s for as out 6 months maybe and I knew the stock servos go bad. Was I close to that time? I drive on hard compact dirt where there are big bumps and rocks, does that also over stress the servo hitting all those bumps??

I'd pull the horn and verify the rest of the steering is moving freely.

I will definitely do that thanks.

I second the above recommendation about making sure there is no binding with the servo disconnected - sounds like your pillow ball screws are too tight.

Now that you mention I cartwheeled several times but that was way before the steering went out and I had a bad tire. Is it possible tho that the servo was pushed to the max and just gave out if once I check all you guys mentioned and the steering still won’t respond

That could very well be. Servos do fail - especially after tumble wumble.

Worse case grab a Spektrum s652 for $20 off of JennysRC if it’s toast.
