ive had this on my fg beetle it came down hard on one wheel making the servo horn jump teeth hence it only steering one way
time to get your hands dirty im afraid strip the steering down and check the servo and servo arm[horn] theres a good chance its jumped if it has turn handset and car on with horn removed then refit the horn
sadly it may also be the servo might be time for a upgrade best ask the hpi and clone runners they will help you better i only run fg's

As above, looks like you servo has jumped teeth..what servo do you have on it, if its the stock km then its time to upgrade to a decent 1...other than that do as Ren says and re-align the horn and see if that makes a difference...

servo is stamped Springrc sm-sb166m don't know if its stock or not because PO had changed a few things on it i will try resetting the horn for the time being gonna get a new servo anyway the one that's in it seems to be a little slower than i like also any one have any good suggestions on tires i have destroyed one stock rear tire already (blew up at high speed) i usually run in dirt and yards

Put some Duct tape around your inner's before you put them in.

He means duct tape on the inside of the servo horn this will make the servo horn tighter on the servo.

Sorry lads, I was referring to the tire blow out. I remove the inner then wrap duct tape around the outside of the inner before re-installing. That stops the inner from expanding and causing blow outs. I have never had that problem.
And yes, a small piece on the servo horn should sort that problem (a small piece), otherwise you will not get the horn back on. It's better to replace the horn if it has jumped teeth, less pressure will cause it to jump next time.
Good luck.
