If the battery bar is loose, then you'd still get steering. A steering servo uses about 2-3amps max., which a loose solder joint can easily provide. But when your motor is trying to draw 30+amps, then a loose solder joint will show itself. I'm not saying that it is a loose solder joint, just pointing out that like squee said, it's a possibility. If you have any other battery(s) to try out, then you can eliminate the battery as the problem.
