sounds like a servo problem, I belive the servo control is built in to the esc

Does the motor cut in and out, like gliching?

did you check the servo for a loose or broken wire?
can you turn the front wheels with no binding?
If you disconnect the servo horn from the servo will it work?
If it is the sservo you can replace it....just remember it is a 4 wire servo and you need to use the same.....

Sounds like a bad servo, if you bought it new w/ a receipt horizon [distributor] will probably replace it free, just have to call them and ship it back. They have great customer service!
