Default New problem to me

Just today my steering has gone bad and I'm not shure why

at first when the radio and receiver was on I could turn the wheels by hand and normally you cant so I go and check the scrws and there all fine top and botton so i crank up the servo saver and that stopped it from being able to be moved with the hand even if it is still lose a bit but I take it back out and it just wont turn fully with out me blipping the throttle a bit to get some weight off of the tires i guess

any and all help is appreciated, Thanks

Most likely its not the servo that is bad but the servo gears taht are bad. I did the same thing with both my savages. Took them apart and the same gear in both were stripped. They make a metal gear upgrade for these servos or you can just buy and upgrades servo. A while back I ordered a few tower pro MG995 servos. They have been great and more than enough power for steering and brake.
