I think my steering servo is going bad. When I turn the car on it does the normal quick twitch. Then when I turn the wheels with the Transmitter it starts twitching really bad. If I try to hold it turning in either direction it is like it is struggling to hold it. Could this be my servo going bad? I have all new batteries so I know that isn't the issue. Can I use one of the servos from my tornado or will that be too small? and sorry for the Wh in the topic part. hope that didn't confuse anyone.

you could try to take it apart. if you want take pics of it as you do it there is a centering gear in there and a real small gear on the motor my bros was doing that and it was the gear on the motor slippin super glue it on but dont go crasy with it DONT GET IT IN THE MOTOR. make sure the centering gear is where it stopps spinning you will understand when you get it apart. I cant explan real well.... sorry hope you get it fix man

mine did the same thing on my volcano and it turned out that the antennae wire wasn't making a good connection to the circuit board. i soldered it and it works fine now.
