Been stuck for a week or so trying to get mine to work. New build. Bench tested everything before installing and it worked perfect. Built the truck... no love. Didn't realize the plug could be backwards... Had no idea... easy fix! Thanks for helping me!
Thank you! Your video solved my problem! My problem was the D/R. We thought it was the bottom dial on our FlySky to limit throttle and had it turned way down.
@@hermierey4219 If it is that the ESC's BEC can't supply enough current, you will need an ESC with a more powerful BEC, or a separate, individual BEC to supply the servo and fan :-)

I think I may have a bit of a unique problem I just got a WL toys 144001 and and there is no response out of the transmitter on the big wheel that turns the servo INSTEAD the small knobs at the front that control steering trim and driving trim are what is steering the car I got a tiny amount of movement from the servo using the big wheel that is actually meant for turning but no luck, I is a binding issue but I’m not really sure was thinking of taking it to a hobby shop as this is my first experience with RC but I would love to hear your thoughts
Hi guys, I will try my luck here. I have Traxxas Rustler XL5, it was working just fine and then suddenly, the steering started to jitter and not respond properly. Basically if I just try to steer while stationary, it steers, but once I apply the throttle, car just won't steer or won't steer straight away. When I apply full throttle and steer, car just looses speed very quickly. Basically it behaves as like it does not have enough juice to power servo and motor at the same time, but batteries are fine, I tried 2 different batteries and also 2 transmitters, it's still the same. I tried to reverse the channels like in your video and it's still the same. So my guess would be servo or ESC, but I don't really know, I will try to disassemble it and clean it properly, but I'm not counting on it. It's quite weird, because this started all of a sudden, I'm not bashing my cars, it didn't do any hard landings or crashes etc... I will be thankful for all comments.
You are right, it sounds like there isn't enough current being sent to drive the servo. Whether that is because of the ESC's output, or the servo drawing too much, is hard to say without being able to test the car. Hit up your local hobby shop and see if they have a test servo you can plug in and see if it works :-)
My problem is that my steering only works if you lift the car off the ground or the car is in motion. When it’s at a standstill, it only turns right and can’t turn left. Any ideas?
Now that I think about it, I might've plugged ESC(5.7V) into channel 1 reversed(trimmed in a way that allows easier plugging into tight Sanwa) and killed the steering signal lines. Or those lines died when I tried driving in snow and car shut off after some time
Hiya, A while back I bought an AGF A81BHMW servo for my Traxxas XRT, while I was out one day there steering went lame and very weak. Power cycled the system and it went back to normal, for a few seconds at least, decided to go home, on the way back to my car the steering magically fixed itself? I decided to fit a Castle BEC (which I was putting off for fear of doing something wrong) to get more power to the servo, hoping it was a voltage issue causing the problem (6.0 volts up to 8.4 with the BEC). Went out again and it was great for a while, then did the same thing again. Any ideas? It's not the gears, they sound fine. Other than the BEC, new fans all round, new servo, and Traxxas X-Maxx/XRT light kit, all electronics are standard Traxxas stuff.
As long as the servo is definitely getting all the volts it needs, it sounds like there might be a fault with the servo itself :-/ Does it still play up if you turn TSM all the way off?
@@HobbiesDirect Yes I think still screws around with it off. It started a while after installing the new servo, quite a few outtings, not immediately. *[edit]* Also, again, it's not all the time, it can just magically fix itself. It makes no sense. Thanks for the reply by the way.
I have a problem with my controllers stearing.. there are no response what so ever.. but when i switch the servo with esc, it turns just fine.. like in your video! but not when i switch back.. there are still no response- and the dualrate just turn the wheels like its ajusting it.. Can you reconnect / Rebind transmitter and receiver ?
Sounds like you are adjusting the Trim, not the Dual Rate. Make sure the Dual rate isn't at zero. Then try rebinding. If still nothing, it might be time for a new receiver :-/
Help needed! I’m completely new to RC and I recently just received my 124016 V2 2 weeks ago and now my steering doesn’t react to anything after only running it 4 times. It doesn’t even center it self when I’m powering it on. It had a slight jittering and turned all the way to the right when powering it on after cleaning it and It lost steering completely 2 days ago, I might have been too heavy with the water? I left it to dry and the next day it was back to normal. Ran one pack on the beach today with my new paddle tires and after a failed jump(nothing crazy) it lost steering again… The car do still drive and reverse but steering is completely dead. Servo gear sounds fine, nothing binds in the steering, fresh batteries both car and transmitter. Ive tried plugging the cables from WL into my MJX receiver and the MJX turns and drives with the WL transmitter. If I do it the other way around: nothing happens… Bad/fried esc, bad servo?
@@TheDaniishDude Okay, if it's not the receiver, then as above, either servo is faulty, or ESC can't supply enough current. Just keep going through the process of elimination.
I have 2 rc cars and took the batteries out and charged them and I must have put the wrong ones in because when I try to turn it on to connect to the remote both of them work for one car but they both don’t work 100% like one will only turn and the other remote will just go forwards and backwards so I just need some help on what to do or if I can fix it
Hi could you do video of one of the most problematic remote controls. Product enterprise Daleks and Davros had issues. I'm trying to resolve the issue with Davros since I only had two plays with it until wheels continually clicked every time it moved then stopped working! .
Toy grade stuff is really hard to diagnose - it sounds like a gear might have moved out of place or stripped. Your best bet would be to bust out your Sonic Screwdriver, open it up, and see if you can find any physical damage. Allons-y!
My build is brand new and when i binded the transmitter to the esc, the servo jerked left and is unresponsive (throttle works, steering doesnt). I cannot get the steering to engage. I connected another servo and the backup worked fine. Could it be that my servo is faulty?
@HobbiesDirect turns out i forgot to bench test it before assembly and had set the servo horn before ever centering the motor. I removed the servo horn, centered the servo motor, and then reassembled everything, Problem Solved!
I modified a rc car toy. Had put 2 esc, one connected to the back motor (acceleration) and battery. Other, connected with the steer and battery too. It works fine, but sometimes the steer doesn’t respond. I turn right than left, for example, in the remote controller, but the car doesn’t go. It not work when I make it one after other right on. If I wait, like, 1 second, it turns. But it’s not working right on time that I turn in the controller. I have to wait to do. Why’s that?
Being modified, and with no other knowledge on the make/model of car, or what the specs of the electronics are in it, it's very hard to say. But it *sounds* like the ESC's BEC doesn't have enough current output to supply the servo, so it's browning out.
I just took a low speed hit with my new Losi pro moto and now the steering servo is locked and I cannot move it in either direction with the power on or off. There is no noise or movement coming from the servo.
Only way to know is to take the servo out and have a look - sounds like maybe a gear has moved out of place or something else in the steering is jammed.
I have a problem with my hosim q905. I took the turning wheel from the remote and when i screwed it back on i heard some snapping noises and when i tried driving my rc car, the front wheels was not turning and with more 360 degrees of snapping the remote wheel the wheels turn but it doesn't go back to the centre automatically.
Sounds like you broke the travel stoppers for the steering on the remote. You could likely repair it if you took it apart and are good at that sort of thing :-)
What if you took a transmitter/ receiver aswell as servo out of another car that works, but there's still notta? Would it be the esc? Only thing i havent replaced, first time coming across this problem in my 15 years of rc 😅
What to do if when i turn on the controller the wheels just start spinning backwards by themselfes but after i apply a little pressure to the throttle it stops
When I Steer left on my controller the rc car goes to the right and and when I turn right it goes to the left any chance you could help with this plz 🙏
Mine works if i turn the wheels left and right then use the remote to turn it left then right it then locks up making a fizzing noise. The gears are ok inside, it just started doing it no impacts just went out of range one time.
(WL TOYS 14800) hey Aaron you got a full rc car redo video, my rc wheel loader has no steering, motor works even new one didnt help, doesnt steer, no channels to swap to check, just battery to board to features i dont have power at main board should be 9v, lithum ion battery still good
If you don't have power at the main board, but the battery is all good, double check all connections and maybe re-solder. Otherwise, it might be time for a replacement main board.

So my car flipped over now steering don’t work but it’s still got power to it but makes a whining noise it’s like it’s jammed and car still goes forwards and backwards
Check end points on your radio, and the physical linkages of your steering. If everything else is fine, it might be time for a new servo 😕 Does it still make a noise when trying to turn right?
@@magmagold2969 If there's no signs of life at all, then it might be time for a new servo :-/ If you plug it into channel 1 instead, you can see if it moves with the trigger. If it does, then it's likely the receiver that's the problem.
What servo in what car with what controller from what brand? If it has any sort of stability control, it might be calibrated wrong, or the controller's wheel's contacts might be dirty or not working properly. Or, it's time for a new servo.
My car is turning left or right but it is sticking either way unless I turn the wheel back. After I turned left or right the wheels would automatically return to the neutral/facing forward position but since I put new steering arms on due to a break in one I am having this issue with the steering...Any suggestions? In 2:10 of this video when you let go of the steering wheel the wheels return to neutral/straight, mine isn't doing this. When I let go of the steering it is still facing left or right.....Any suggestions please?
@@HobbiesDirect Thanks I'll look closer to see if there is any binding, If still no luck I'm replacing them with aluminium ones anyway so if there is still issues I'll replace the servo!

For me when I use my Transmitter sometimes instead of steering it just makes the cooling fan go slower and sometimes it just doesn’t respond at all
Sounds like the ESC's BEC can't supply enough current to drive the servo, or the servo is faulty and pulling more current than any BEC could handle.

@@HobbiesDirect Ok at least I know what to look for. Thanks!
Just straightened the antenna wire and it corrected the continuous left tapping
Is there a way to wire 3 pin servo to work as 2 wire? To turn left to right?
I understand about the signal wire, but can that be bypassed?
Bypassing the signal wire would do just that; bypass the signal. No direction signal, no turning.

What servo in what car with what controller from what brand? If it has any sort of stability control, it might be calibrated wrong, or the controller's wheel's contacts might be dirty or not working properly. Or, it's time for a new servo.

Not to bother as now got the 1/8 scale mvck rx flux 4S
Nice!@@Jayzkayaydancasper
My car is turning left or right but it is sticking either way unless I turn the wheel back. After I turned left or right the wheels would automatically return to the neutral/facing forward position but since I put new steering arms on due to a break in one I am having this issue with the steering...Any suggestions? In 2:10 of this video when you let go of the steering wheel the wheels return to neutral/straight, mine isn't doing this. When I let go of the steering it is still facing left or right.....Any suggestions please?
As a guess, either the position sensor in the servo has been damaged in the crash, or the new arms are binding up on something.
@@HobbiesDirect Thanks I'll look closer to see if there is any binding, If still no luck I'm replacing them with aluminium ones anyway so if there is still issues I'll replace the servo!
