Jammed Steering?
Hi. I'm here to save your day.
I didn't bother searching here, but my steering jammed a few days back, and I was able to fix it. I was running without a body on and my car slid really fast into a wall at an angle, jarring one of the front wheels. What actually happened is a tooth got deformed and jammed on one of the gears inside my servo assembly. It was a tooth on the gear that is attached directly to the steering horn thing, so I took the steering horn off, removed the top cover of the servo, pulled the gear up off the spindle and rotated it about 180 degrees, put the steering servo cover back on, re-attached the steering horn and she works good again.
This works because that gear can't physically turn all 360 degrees (maybe 100 degrees max), so the damaged spot on that gear won't contact the small gear that turns it.
That gear, or the small one that drives it, are the most likely to get damaged, because they have the most torque put on them when impact shocks the servo like that.
If my small gear would have broken inside, it would be a lot harder to fix. I hope this helps you guys!

that should solve a few peoples problems, if you could find the reason for the electronics jamming the servo one direction all the way that would be great. and i also have many many stripped gears.
