Granite Voltage servo? acting weird.

[MysteriousPooper]

this is my kids little truck and he smashes it all the time. nothing looks broken but the steering is weird. the truck will not turn on until i push the wire from esc into servo. then it turn on. when i turn right it turns right and when i let go of wheel it does a weird thing where it turns itself left right left then centers again. if i try to turn it left it makes a weird clicking sound. ive tried messing with the steering trim and everything on controller with no success.

okay. even though it still turns its definitely the servo going gone lol? i have a few stock big rock servos on hand are those too much for this little boy? any suggestions otherwise

Never too much servo IMO! Try one of them out, troubleshoot it to rule anything else out.

okay perfect. pretty new to this i didnt know if "a servo is a servo'' applies here lol.

I run (I think) it’s over 400oz in a truck that would steer perfectly with 200oz. Never enough servo, never enough power!

Plug it into the RX first before you remove the one in it. See if it works properly.

After looking deeper I found another servo plug new one works. Man this thing looks crammed compared to the notorious. Lol

Isn’t there a slot on the other side of that ESC for a 3 wire plug servo? Is that where you plugged it in?

This happened with me senton I think that’s what it’s called but I opened up the servo and all of the gears are stripped don’t buy plastic gears kids
