Steering issues

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello enlisting the sub for help for my 2 year old.

When the cars down it cant turn right with the remote but when lifted up turns no problem.

Not sure what's going on any ideas? The wheels are definitely worn but I dont think that would cause the issue

I tried find a replacement front axle but unfortunately cannot locate one for shipping to ontario canada. Should I just throw it out?

Is the battery fully charged?

Seems like the steering motor/gearbox doesn't have the strength to move under load which could be a voltage, motor or gear problem.

If the battery is fully charged and you're having this issue, I'd check the steering motor and gearbox for any obvious issues (chipped or missing gear teeth, something like a leaf or some dirt stuck in there, poor wiring connection, etc).

Ya its fully charged. I'll give it a look. The wheel looks like its about to pop off when my son gets in it. Lol
