*Ko servo help*

Hi, everyone.

After a meeting racing outdoors this sunday. In very hot conditions in my TC my ko 2343 servo has gone alot stiffer than it ussualy is. It is also making a strange noise when you move it by hand from left to right. It doesnt feel rough like it does when theres a broken gear it has just gone very stiff.
Anyone know whats wrong with it?
Maybe a dead motor?
Or does it just need rebuilding and re greasing?

Please help me

Is the first gear on those plastic?

It has one plastic gear inside it (the very thin one)
Not sure what the first gear is tbh

Is it defo the servo? Have you disconnected the link and checked the steering on the car is free?

The first is the plastic one, which is there so if you do get excessive load that breaks instead of the motor. It's worth checking that gear is perfect, it could be missing some teeth.
