There might be some binding in the linkage. hold the truck up with the servo horn off and try to turn the wheels by the linkage. It should be able to turn the wheels freely. If not then something might have broke.

I've had 2 T-maxx servo's go out just like that. Seems like they are binding up going left, you pick the truck up and do a no load steering check and you'll see the servo horn just bending and almost laying over to 1 side for no apparent reason. I never could figure out what was doing it either. I thought it might've been doing big air with my old T-maxx, but then the same thing happened with my nephew's E-maxx and I know that thing has been 100% babied.
