Default Wraith won't steer problem, need help

Been looking on here and can't figure out my steering prob. I had a hi torque servo on my wraith, the steering locked at full turn. Had to unplug it befor it would relax. I put my stock one back in and only had fwd/rev and no steering at all, doesn't even twitch. Now I don't have throttle either. Anybody know what the sorce of the problem could be? I don't know a lot about rc's but I think I need to get a new receiver, but don't want to start ordering and replacing parts. A little extra info, i bought a rtr kit about 6 months ago and all electronics had worked perfect intill this problem. Charged the onyx 5000mah Nima batt. And replaced batteries in the controller. Any info will help, thanks guys

Get a C.C BEC and set it to 6.0v and call it a day

Did you mess with the Chubs or steering knuckles? I once over tightened my knuckles to my C-hubs and the steering barely worked.
Stock servo is be fine without a BEC. What battery are you running?

How can you recommend a voltage without knowing what servo he has?
