7955tg problem - 11.20.2012, 07:36 AM

I got to run me car on the street tonight. Lasted all of 5 minutes before I broke the front shock tower (that really shit me because I just straightened it twice after the last two runs). Anyway, when I unplugged the battery I noticed I hadn't tightened one screw properly (5 minutes ago). It's not a super important screw. I tightened it and checked to see if the steering was binding since it was close to the screw. It seemed it was. I couldn't turn the wheels by hand. After a few minutes of checking and double checking I came to the conclusion nothing was binding, I might have chewed the gears in the servo perhaps. I plugged the battery back in and it seemed to operate perfectly fine. Unplug it and I cannot turn the wheels by hand again. Plug it back in and use my hand to give resistance to the servo in action... not the rated torque, not totally weak but not the full monty either.

I'm using a castle bec to power the servo. I am not running a servo saver in a truggy/monster. What have I done and is it salvagable?
