1. Please first check whether the car's servo is powered on. If the servo is disconnected, operating the remote control to steer will have no effect at this time.
2. If the servo is powered on, please manually turn the tire. If it feels difficult, there are two possibilities (both may be caused by an impact):
1) Clutch stuck
2) The servo is stuck

Inspection process:
1. First, please remove the rocker arm fixing screw of the servo to separate the metal rocker arm of the servo from the servo. Try to rock the tire left and right with your hands to see if the clutch is flexible. If it is not flexible, it is a clutch problem. Replace the clutch.
2. If the clutch is flexible, it may be a steering gear problem. Remove the metal rocker arm screws, separate the metal rocker arm from the servo, and then rock the tire left and right with your hands. If the servo is stuck, you need to replace the servo.
