All of a sudden my tires stopped turning. My servo works just fine, i unhooked the servo and tried to turn it by hand and it is very hard. Do you think this is my servo saver? I've looked and looked and i can't find anything that is stopping it from turning. I just dont understand why it would break while sitting on the shelf. I have not used it at all and just started playing with it while doing an FOC.
 
You can't grab the gear on the servo and turn it unless it's broke. Check the splines on the servo gear, adapter if there is one and the servo saver. Try the servo with the saver off of it to see if it works. If it don't, plug it in to the throttle channel and try it. Make sure the gear is turning on the servo and that it's not just making noise.
 
It's in the nitro forum and I have no idea what kind of car or truck you're having a problem with.
I'm under the impression that the servo is fine, but the steering is stuck.

If you have done any work on your front end, you probably tightened the pillow balls too much. You need to find the spot between too tight and getting play. They should move very freely with no resistance, as well as no slop.
Take your wheels off and adjust the upper and lower mounts of the uprights.
