Tires/Servo barely moves
Hey guys,
I'm new here, and to RC cars in general, and have a problem. I recently bought a Hot Bodies Lightning Stadium, and crashed it the other night into a curb. Wasn't too bad, but it messed up my steering alignment. I've already reset the servo to neutral multiple times, but when I turn the radio and tramsmitter on, it makes odd adjustments, both when I adjusted it offline, and online. I took the steering servo apart, and all of the gears are in great shape. Could I have messed something up electrically? Right now when I get the servo perfectly centered I can barely turn the wheels 15 degrees in either direction. At first I thought it was low batteries, but I've replaced them with brand new ones... for whatever reason I can barely turn my wheels, did I destroy my servo? Everything else on my car is running fine.
Right now I'm stuck spinning in left circles... a bit annoying if you know what I mean
Thanks in advance.

Nothing is binding and nothing is bent...

ok mare sure your servo screws arnt done up to tight (did this yesterday actualy, and i was trying to work out why 1 $120 KO servo was slow as a 3003)
check that none of your kingpins are done up to tight, make sure none or teh linkages are touching the car or other parts eg electroncs
see how u go

Well, I centered the servo again this morning just for the sake of it, and now everything is working... bizarre. Thanks for the replys.
