Make sure it is the servo and not just the new steering binding up. Remove the servo arm and make sure the wheels turn left and right with little resistance. Also check the servo saver and make sure it is functioning properly.

Also check the settings on the remote. You can set it left, center, or right. Also take the servo horn off the servo, set remote steering to center and reinstall horn.

Will it not move with your hands? It should move with slight force.
