Default Servo Problem on evo

I just unpacked my hummer and powered it up. It runs but won't steer! Any easy fixes?

Check the servo wires on the EP. Are they all connected, or no?

You can also try to turn th wheel's when it is off and turn it either way, and turn it back on and if the wheel's dont set in the middle... then your servo may be dead. but i may be wrong.

Same as what WhiteMKIV said, turn the wheels to one side, then turn on the car you hear the servo power up and visually see it center, if that doesn't happen then its most likely dead!

Of course check all the obvious things first batteries in car and handset, etc, then take it back.

This has happened to my Titan too, the servo seems to be dead. You're saying the only way to fix this is returning it?

See if you can return it w/out a reciept (most RS places are kinda loose about Xmods now days...), or just pick up another one (their dirt cheap as is) and just use your current one for spare parts.
