Dang. Well i have servos laying around. But the gear isnt metal its plastic. So im guessing the servo i have laying around wont be very good. right?

RIGHT,

Send back that servo and explain what is going on. Most likely they'll send you a new one or replace parts for cheap. JR sent me a new one without reciept even. Good luck

It only looked to me like the Servo horn was stripped out. I saw the screw moving but the horn was not..You may also have the wrong servo horn on..They dont all fit all servo's..Go get a live person to help you..This is not an internet solvable problem

It is also possible that the bushing on the top case is worn, or fell out..

Yea. I dont think the servo horn im using is right for the servo. I took off the original servo horn that came with the servo but it had a ball at the end where the steering arm was supposed to snap on. But thats not how my truggy is. So i guess i need a new servo arm
