Try switching the throttle and steering on the receiver. That will tell you if your servo is good.

Throttle servo is a common first item to go. Do a search for Hitec servo and you will find many threads on the subject along with some model numbers to use.

For the throttle break servo the Hitec 645 works great. It will drop right in. http://www.davesmotors.com/s.nl/c.885035/n.1/it.A/id.2551/.f

thats probably why my xb jus shot off down the street huh??cause my servo went out or wut???

Over pushing them.

Make sure your end points are set correctly. The servo should not be trying to push past the range of travel. Example: during full throttle the servo should stop where the throttle stops. It should not be trying to push farther than allowed to move.

Also, the Redcat servos are fragile to say it nicely. It does not take much to burn them out.

Yep. It probably failed under throttle. I hope you are running a kill switch.
