Servo issues

[vinnyrcman]

hi everyone I need help with my ARRMA senton 3s. My dad crashed it full speed into a curb and now my steering gets stuck. Like if I turn to the right and let go it will stay there and not return straight. If anyone can help I’d appreciate it thank you.

Welcome in @vinnyrcman , sounds like after the hard hit you have some binding problems.
Turn your system on and study the steering. You may have to rebuild it but it won't be expensive.

I would start by disconnecting the servo horn and seeing if the steering is binding or if it is the servo that didn't survive the hit.

Good luck

Take the servo out of the equation. Disconnect the servo from the drag link and move the steering with fingers to track down any binding first.

Your dad owes you a servo.

If after finding out everything moves freely within the steering assembly, then you can move on to diagnosing servo saver/servo. You may have busted the servo saver, but I'd still have a backup plan for a replacement servo.
