Analog servos will only ever growl when there is a constant load on the servo. You will want to remove the horn from the servo and check the steering linkage on your truck and make sure that it is free from binding. Keep in mind, that because the vehicle is a crawler, there will be a load on the servo while driving, so expect some noise, and a little bit of heat build up due to the load and the fact that there is very little air flow on the servo.
I will say again this is happening both under load and without load. There is no binding on the steering. I would suspect some noise like a savox but not like this. This is constant. It gets extremely hot as well pushing 200degrees.
