Default please help servo problem...

the last time i ran my landslide i noticed a delayed reaction from my steering servo. i assumed that is was low battery voltage since the failsafe took over soon after. when i got the car home i changed the batteries and turned on the receiver and remote. i got nothing from the steering servo, but the throttle servo was working fine. i was running on a football field so i am unsure if its not moving due to dirt or if the servo is burned up...what do u guys think....????

Take out the fail-safe and try it without it.. if it is not working, then get another servo

ok..will do that now...but why would the failsafe prevent the steering from working now. i mean the failsafe is connected to the throttle servo not the steering servo..and it was working fine at first...jus curious

first check the steering servo by plugging it to throttle channel since u mentioned throttle is fine, then if it doesn't work it's obvious servo is bad, but if it works check the rx steering servo channel this might be the problem, might need just rx cleaning..

no probs, it is the slot in the receiver where the servo is plug, usually in the receiver it is indicated by small print, the order is batt, steering(1st channel), throttle(2nd channel) and 3rd channel...hope it helps..
