Does the steering servo work? Is it just the motor or both ? Did it work before ? Is something new with the electronics ?

Can you spin the drive train by hand? What motor are you running (Titan, stinker)?

ya the steering servo works. When i first got it, it worked fine but then the motor stopped turning. I replaced the motor and it worked again but then after a few 20 minuet run times it quit working.

The stock Titan's have a tendency to fail after a very, very short time frame. There are people who have been running these stock Titan 12Ts for ages without any problems, but then there are others whose fail within just a few short runs. It's luck of the draw, from what I have observed.

Most common failure is I've noticed is the brushes. They just snap off and without those brushes there's no contact to the comm. meaning your motor will not turn since there is no electricity flow. Sad part is, the Titan 12T is a pain to open up due to the closed can design. Your best bet is to purchase a whole new, different motor.
