First I would make sure your battery is fully charged, and the 9V is good also. Then try all 4 different channels and see if it lets you control it. Might be something interfering with the channel you are on. I know if you run two of these on the same channel in close proximity, something like you just described will happen.

Put the front end up on a block, turn on the jeep and your controller, and then turn the little knob on the controller labeled "steering trim". What happens?

You can't really put hobby servos on these things, the electronics aren't compatible.

yes, if you were to install a hobby grade ESC, reciever, remote, and servo, you could.... i am not sure how well the motors would respond to the lower voltage (not very well i would assume) so you would need to look for an ESC and possibly a servo that will run on 12 volts |

take it back to walmart they will exchange it no problem. If you have modified the body just buy a new rig and change bodies out and then take the old chassis with the new body back to exchange it they will give you your money back. I have done this twice already.
