I am having a servo centering problem:
JR9100T
With wheels of the ground you can steer R/L and it will return to center.With the wheels on the ground it will not return to full center on one side.

Does this mean its kaput or what? I guess I can switch it out to terst another servo but wanted some input before I started the swap.
 
have you ever had the servo apart... it sounds like maybe a gear might have stripped at somepoint and when putting the servo back together the servo wasn't centered properly. just an idea.

or maybe the servo just doesn't have enough torque. what is the servo in?
 
are you testing with a fully charged Rx battery? If you're low on power, it'll be harder for the servo to do what it needs to.
