My helicopters don't even have wheels! Your Savage 25 sounds more
like a car than a helicopter ...

But yes, it could be the battery. Could be the servo, or the linkage,
or the transmitter or the receiver ...

If you can't narrow it down more, take it back to the hobby store that
you bought it at or to a friend that knows R/C and have them help you
narrow the problem down.

And next time, try the R/C cars group :)

Yep. Could be a bad servo or a failed/loose servo saver.

BTW: This is an RC HELICOPTER group. You might want to try a cars
group next tiem out.

Sounds like it could be any number of things.

The steering servo could be toast, the steerrin servo saver could be binding
to the point it won't let the servo move, or the battery may not be man
enough to drive two servo's, although I doubt that.

My guess would be the servo and the easy way to test it is to uncouple the
servo arm and wagggle the stick. If it doesn't move, stick another (known
good) servo into the steering channel and waggle the stick again. If it
moves, your original servo is dead. Then work through the linkages to make
sure they all move freely.
