steering seems stiff
i have a 1/10 nitro buggy, my mate crashed into it with his monster truck, so i had to replace some front parts, i put all the screws back where they came from, everything is tightened up, but now the servo is struggling to turn it, when i take the servo arm off and manually pull the servo arm it seems really stiff.... what have i done wrong??

If you can post pics it would help.
Try the following.
Losen the bellcrank
Make sure servo is good
Make sure the ball cups ( if replaced ) are not to tight on the ball ends
Make sure the hubs are not to tight.
Take the servo linkage off and work from there.

thats what i was starting to think, i want to concentrate on my 1/8 buggy, the only thing wrong with that is, the main cog( the big one) ?? lol has been sheared to nothing cos the dimwits that put it together didnt have the motor in the right spot, can you have a guess of how much one of those will be. thats if you understood my sensational description..

Hmmm... not many buggies use a plastic spur gear... what kind of buggy is it? I suggest a metal one. Buggies take a lot of abuse, and they put a lot of power to the ground... too much for plastic gears!
