servo not working properly.... ***????
i have a xtm xcellerator with a brushless motor and i was bashing with it using masher2000 tires.... my servo is a hitec 925mg... my bashspot WAS at the skatepark...
took a few jumps and noticed the servo sticking,,, and after a few adjustments on the transmitter i was off playing again... and then i noticed that it wouldnt react fast enough.. like a delay.. then i thought it was the transmitter batteries being too low..
with fresh batteries installed.. i turned the car on,, and the servo turns slow and sticks left... and i can tell it is sucking a lot of power from the battery because the fan on the esc starts to slow down ALOT... i manually place the horn uprght and try again.. and it slowly moves and sticks left while sucking power....
do i need a new servo,,, or can i rebuild this one,, if i can rebuild it where can i get a motor for it... ?????

maybe stripped a gear ,nothing last forever could be time to get a new 1. check your servo saver or any linkage attache to it and make sure nothing is binding or dirty clean it up a little put it together and do your own process of elimination ,but to me it sounds like it might be broken

take off teh controll arm like teh part that attaches to the servo and center teh servo with it off and put the arm back on and see if that helps i have to do that to mine like when i flip it or hit something really hard
