Default Hobbico cs 170 servo issues.

Have this in a Axial Wraith. I was running it today and out of no where it turned almost to the full left and keeping that as the center point. I will turn to the right but when i turn the radio full right it basically turns the servo so now I am straight. But as soon as I let go of the radio and put it back in neutral it turns almost full left. Have checked all wiring and dont see anything that is wrong. NOt sure what the deal is. Help?

Try resetting the servo horn.

The servo horn is likely cracked or stripped, if so, it's time for an upgrade.

Remember that this is a 24 spline servo, same as a Hitec HS-5955 (Oh wait it's a rebadged Hitec).

STUPID! Here I am looking and thinking there is a loose wire, or some sort of electrical. Horn was loose and also stripped out (from being loose no doubt). All of you were correct and on the right path.

Thanks for helping a newbie thats learning slowly but surely. Appreciate it.
