Servo problem
Hello all, I've had this issue for a while now. When I turn on my car, at first everything works fine. However, there is always a noise that the servo makes as if it wanted to turn but something is blocking it. The servo slowly turns the wheel all the way to the left and continues to make the noise. Any ideas what it could be? Is this the servo?

So you're saying that without any input, the servo slowly turns the wheels to the left all by itself?
Is the steering trim centered? If you try to center the wheels with the trim, does it still go left? It could be the servo, or maybe a bad channel on the receiver. Try swapping the throttle and steering at the receiver. (You might want to prop the car up on a block or stand) Now the throttle trigger will control the steering, and the steering wheel the throttle. If the steering now works normally and the throttle constantly creeps, then I'd say you have a bad receiver. If the steering still does the same thing, then it's the servo.
