My Stampede is stuck to one side
After some rough play by my 6 year old, the steering wheels of my stampede are now stuck to one side. I thought the steering servo is shot so I replaced it with a new one. Unfortunately, the issue remains.
It seems that the issue is associated with the remote. My remote is a FS-GT5. Anyone had such a problem before?
Many thanks!

Did your child turn/press the steering trim button/dial next to the wheel on the remote? This can throw steering off to one side or another.

BTW, after I installed the new steering servo, it seems that if I twist the knob to one direction, it won't move at all, but when I twist it to the other direction, it tries to move twice as much as it should.

Did you have the truck powered up and the remote turned on when you lined up the servo saver/servo horn?

I'm able to fix it myself now. It was due to a physical shift of the steering wheel knob. I had to completely disassemble my FS-GT5, took off the steering wheel assembly, loosen a big screw, and readjust it myself. Now, everything is working normal again.
