Default PLEASE HELP XMOD BROKE!!!!

Well after finnally setting the **** thing up and running it for the first time i figured i would take it outside, not a good idea. I ran it in my driveway in the section that was dry(it snowed 8 inches 2 days ago) so i was having a blast until i hit a small snow bank,so i took it inside cleaned up the water and started to try in run it inside prob is now its only stearing straight. when i try too turn it goes errrrrrrrrr, so idk wtf the prob is and a hour later i tryed again to see if it had dreyed enough to steer and its better but still not turning fully. Earlyer today i was drifting around my fridge now i cant turn around it SOplease help me im seriously confused right now i what to do.
Thanx

The way to test for a stripped servo gear is to take the tierod out, nd turn on your car. Steer it to the side that won't turn. If it steers fine, it's something wrong with the steering binding. If it makes the noise like it's turning, it's a stripped gear. If there's no sound, a wire is loose.
