reverse the servo plugs on the reciever, see if the throttle works the steering and the steering works the throttle, if the throttle still doesnt work then the servo is shot.

also just a note, there is a little grub screw that goes on the throttle linkage. Sometimes they are too tight and wont allow the servo horn to move. Alot of people tighten them up thinking it is a loose screw but that needs to be loose so it pivots. Just a thought.

for the throttle get a regular futaba s3003, it should be like $10 or so, its a good servo to use for throttle and brake.
