Hey guys i just recently ran into the curb going at least 30 and my engine doesnt work and my steering wont work or it tries to steer but it cant move the wheels i bought some titanium pivot balls and installed them it help but still doesnt turn full radius so if you guys can give me some advice oh its a Nitro tc3 .12 abc high performance please help thanks guys. oh and should i take it to the hobby shop to fix it or is it fixable. thanks.

I'm not to sure about the engine, but with the steering I might be able to help. Take the servo off and see if you can easily turn the wheels by them selves, if not, dis assemble the whole assembly and check for any broken/bent pieces. If it all works fine check the servo, turn the servo horn left to right to see if it is smooth or not, then do it with the radio. If you find that the radio doesn't make it turn or the servo is weak I might suggest getting a new servo (Preff metal geared) or you could take it to your LHS and they prob could fix it for you (I can't see/feel it, hence why it's hard to diagnose.

ditto check the servo with it disconnected. if it doesnt turn with nothign connected it might have been damaged during crash.
is steering and throttle servo the same?
you can try to sawp them to see if it is the servo its self. if the stering servo doesnt work on the throttle either then its prolly damaged.
the part that connects to the servo might have just "spun" on the servo and changed where the stop point is.


as for the engine not working, do you mean it wont start now?

Packfan, are you talking about the flat piece of plastic that tells the servo what angle it is at/restricts the turning range (Right below the output gear)? If you are, how could you turn that around with out breaking a piece or two?

yeah the engine wont start for crap and the aceleration works perfectly its just the steering i took it all apart and tinkerd withit the engine is just not starting when i pull it it it doesnt relieve at the end it just gets harder and it makes a bluk bluk blllukkkk not a frrrrrrr frrrrrrr frrrrrrrrrrrrrfrfrrrr

the plastic deal

may have hit so hard on the servo it moved back a few postions and thus created a new end point. also stripping the teeth. dont if this is it but just a though

im still wondering about my engine guys is there something anyone knows from experiance also they guy at my LHS charges 20 bucks an hour so im kinda wanting to do it my self that way i can learn so please guys help me only driven the car 2 times

Did you check the glow plug to make sure it didn't break the element?

for the steering is everything set or your radio for a full radius on your turns?

New servos should do it I did it once too and I messed around with the servos and reciever and then it worked.

wanna cars do you have?
