I'm new to the nitro world, just getting into RC. I have no response in my steering, what is the best area to start troubleshooting? Could my frequencies be off, or could the servo have gone bad? Anything helps, thanks

First, I'd check to see if the steering linkage is binding anywhere. Next, see if the servo "jumps" when you first turn it on. Next swap the servo and throttle leads on the receiver (RX). Try pulling the throttle trigger and see if the servo responds. If it doesn't respond try replacing the servo.
If your transmitter has a steering trim knob I would check that and make sure it's not trimmed right down to the point of no steering
