|  no steering
I have a hitec st126mg servo. Bought it new and have ten min of run time. All out of nowhere it stopped moving except for when I first plug it in it twitches. I plugged into a friends Crawler and works fine. Any idea what can be wrong.

First would be to tell us what type of electronics your running and batteries, and then a good thing to do is also to search, have you? Type in "no steering in the advance search in just the electronics section and you'll probably find what's wrong

Sounds like a radio issue if it works in a friends rig. Try pluging it into the throttle port on the RX and see if the trigger makes the servo move. If so, try rebinding your RX to the TX (redo the ESC calibration after that) and see what happens. When it doesn't work, does the ESC still work? Have you tried a different battery pack? |

i have tried different battery packs 7.2 stick packs. plus its only the steering that doesnt work. forward and reverse works and i swithched the plug ins in reciever and the drive works with the steering controler so im totally confused on what it can be. my reciever is axial and the speed controller is tamiya. i have had probrally 15 hours or less on this crawler since i got it in a trade.

Find another proven to work TX that can bind to your rx and bind it. If it steers fine then it your TX if it doesn't its your rx. Replace as needed

You have the plug in the correct orientation in the rx? Does it buzz or anything? Is it stiff if you try to turn the steering by hand with it powered on? |

The wiring should be, the black or brown servo wire goes to the outside edge of the RX. Have you tried the servo with it disconnected from the servo arm? This eliminates binding in the rest of the steering as a test. A radio rebind may be worthwhile, but you stated the steering channel works the ESC (when you swapped the ports) so maybe not. | |
