Changed the servo saver, same thing happened. So i held the tire to restrict the steering and checked to see if the servo was moving inside the saver and it was all solid. Could it be that the servo is not getting enough power from the esc and batt? Im running a Savox.

You won't have as much steering on the power.

Make sure it is tight otherwise you are getting nowhere. I thought mine was tight and did the same thing you did but on the track it wasn't. So I glued the pieces together with my fingers.

What speed control are you running? If the bec can't handle the load then yeah, that could be possible.

Have you tried to walk the truck off of the pipes when it gets stuck?

Have you installed a capacitor to the reciever yet to act like a BEC of sorts? I know when I had my Savox installed, I had to have a decent size capacitor wired right into one of the aux channels of the reciever

Has anyone run into an issue where the steering linkage hits the servo? If so what was your fix?

Yes. I sanded down the back of the ball cup, and it worked fine. This was running an Orion servo. If sanding down the cup doesn't work, then you could always mod the servo case.

Yea... I also have to trim the ball cup as well as trim some off the Servo Case... Works like a charm now...

Truck was soooo good last night, I was having a issue with a off power push previous to last night and it magically cured itself , must have just needed some more runs on the tires and foams to get them broke in

I see and read waaaay too many savox servo problems.

Sure sOme have no problems but thats a small percent compared to the huge number of problems.

I advise that you steer clear from savox. Get it? Steer clear. Lol
