Not sure I understand your post. when the truck is off, you no longer hear the servo making noise when you manually turn the wheels... is this what you mean?

As long as the servo turns the wheels when it is powered up, what's to worry about.

Is it the stock servo?

I changed mine to dual BB type, and it is much smoother, even off you can hardly hear anything when manually turn wheels. I put the stock steering servo on the throttle/brake. Much better brakes now.

BTW, the servo saver is basically just a metal spring that will help absorb impact, so your servo won't have to.

sorry adamb but i forgot to add that at the top of the last post the servo makes no noise when the power is off and i manually turn them then when i use the radio (power on) the wheels will some times stick to one side and they will make a poping noise when i use the radio to turn them idk i need help or a new servo oh well once i get payed i will buy a new one i guess but i would still like to get this one working for the brakes and throttle

you need a new servo. IF you frequently turn the servos with you hands they evidentually wear out. I knew a guy that did this and his servo crapped out on him much to early.

Sounds like you blew a gear and it gets stuck on that part. Time to put in better servo.

You could probably get re-build kit for it if you still wanted to use it for throttle.

The popping noise is probably the gears hitting the stipped part.

happened to me too man , the stock savage steering servo sucks , ball bearing metal geared is the way to go , its sooooo much better

Hey, I was out driveing with Knoxville.
Today I went over to his house and he took out the servor and opened it up. 2 or 3 of the teeth were broke off.
We are guessing it was when he did the 360 at full speed lol (it was awsome though) Now NEITHER of us can drive for awhile cause I broke another pull start on my buggy ERR them peaces of !@#$%!$%!@$%@$#^%!!!!!!!!!

I have some bad news for you. Your servo gear in stripped. If you take it apart you'll see what I'm taking about. I just did that this weekend. I ordered a new Hitec 645. The stock isn't strong enough for rough driving. Check it out!

thebryguy

Hey there Knoxville
Let me know how you make out and I'll do the same. I bought mine through Hitec direct and no shipping charge. Might want to look that up.
