Ummmm.....try plugging it into the throttle channel....does it work off the trigger???? If so, your RX is suspect.

you could try swapping the esc and servo ,if th esc works on the steering then you have a bad servo it the esc dose not work then the rx failed

I tried putting my servo into my slash and it worked. Maybe it's my transmitter.

i put the servo into the throttle and it didnt work. but in my slash the servo worked. looks like my radio system crapped out on me. i guess this is a forced upgrade to 2.4ghz

It worked in my slash the first time I tried it but now it doesn't work at all. He was obviously selling bad servos for cheap just to get rid of them

servos are about the only thing I don't buy used... they're just to delicate.
