Default 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... ?????

open it up - there might be something jammed in its gears.

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
