Try changing or recharging the batteries or take the front end apart and recenter the steering servo horn

Try taking the front end apart. A problem I had when I crashed was a bushing or whatever those yellow things are, one of them jammed the tie rod causing it to only turn to one side.

I would suggest taking the front end and possibly the rear end apart and making sure theres nothing stuck in there. You say theres no steering at all. When you TRY to steer can you hear the servo moving left and right?

Beat me by a minute itsme

Hmm, I have also had that problem. Make sure that the screws are in straight and that all the gears are meshing good. Just take the back end apart and try to assemble it again.

Check if the front wheels spin freely...maybe their stuck from spinning.

well your best bet is to disasemble the car
and check that everythings stilll together/broken parts/missing parts.Clean everything up while your at it
