You need to do a couple simple tests to see if it's the servo or the reciever problem.
We know that channel 2 works with the esc so I would suggest plugging the servo into channel 2 and test it. Yes you will use the trigger to turn the wheels but we are just testing. If the servo works in channel 2 then you have a bad channel 1 in the reciever. Simple. If the servo does not work in channel 2 then either the servo is bad or incompatible.
To double check I would plug the esc into channel 1, if it works then the servo is definitely the problem. If the esc does not work in channel 1 then you verified that the receiver has a bad channel 1.
Thanks for the advice, that makes good sense. At first, I unplugged the ESC and tried the servo in channel two. To my dismay, nothing happened. However, when I put the ESC in, and put the servo in to channel 3, I could turn the servo using this strange switch on my remote called "SW2". I think I can conclude that the problem is with my receiver. Is there anyway I could configure it so that I could steer using channel 3? It would save my 10 bucks on a new receiver.... and just to make sure, the problem cannot be my broken antenna on the remote, correct?
Thanks,
