Notorious Steering all of a sudden stuck turning right.

[The_Otherside]

Drove it for the first time today trough some light grass and some gravel and all of a sudden my wheels stuck turning right.

On or off. Wheels won't turn.

Servo looks clear of debris.

Any ideas where to start looking?

Thank you!

Did you calibrate your controller and do the ESC calibration?

Your batteries in your controller may be low as well, make sure those are new.

You could also unplug the servo, switch spots with the throttle on the receiver and see if it works. Could be the servo crapping out as well.

Well if the wheels won't turn when the rig is turned off it is one of three things.

1. Something is lodged in the steering assembly somewhere, like a rock.

2. The steering assembly has managed to bend or lodge itself in someway that its become stuck.

3. The servo is dead and the gears inside of it have locked into place.

I would say take the servo horn off and check to see if your steering assembly moves free, if it does then the issue lies in the servo.

I’d say the cheap azz stock servo went out.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot!

First run. Lol. I sure hope not.
