no radio - servo response

[rchobbycentre]

Hi, I have a new query in relation to my new 1/10 scale nitro monster truck. I can't seem to get a connection/signal to my servo, the radio and servo is on, but I can't move the wheels at all, as if there is no life there! I managed in the end to get the engine fired up but it free wheels and then cuts out even when adjusting the trim. But when I get it going properly I wouldn't be able to steer it.

Can anyone suggest anything.
Thanks

Check that the servo wires are plugged into the reciever correctly and firmly. If that does not resolve the issue the servo is the most likely bad item. It could be the TX or the RX as well. You'll have to go thru and eliminate them one by one.

If the throttle servo works, you can switch the steering and throttle connections on the Rx.
If the throttle on the Tx steers the car it will be in the rx. If not its the servo.

thanks, forgive me for playing dumb, could you expand on the Rx and Tx, what is what?

Tx = transmitter
Rx = receiver.
