RE: front steering servo Rockslide
When it stops, listen to the servo, what sound does it make when you try to move it? If it doesn't make any sound, the connector may be loose on the receiver terminals.

i can hear it making sound, sounds like it wants to work but just not making contact with other gears i guess</p>

None of the gears are chipped?

its almost like the little tiny gear that stays in the servo ''drive gear'' i guess falls down a bit or something, i think i just kind of pushed it back in to get it to work, what ever it was i didnt do much or anything at all the first time other than take off bottom part where gears are and put back together. Havnt been brave enough to try to get inside the main servo compartment yet, dont really know what to expect.

Im sure Redcat will help you, they did when one of my knuckles broke right out of the box. As mentioned you will want to upgrade you steering servo asap. You will want one with atleast 200oz of torque.

RE: front steering servo Rockslide
the rear servo has also done the same thing allready, i will have to contact redcat and see. thanks for the info on servo,, i will have to look into pricing or any info on where to do all of my parts shopping would be great, i assume i would not have to get this bigger servo from redcat or might i have to do some modifications to get it to work, as far as bolting it on?
