If it's the stock eflite servo.. they tend to (way too often) die... just die or strip in flight.. most of us have switched them out to better servos (common one is Hitec HS65HB or MG).

Make sure you have plugged the new one in correctly ( colours on the leads are exactly the same way round as the others)

If you have ...................plug one of the working servo's into the socket that appears to be at fault ......

If it works.............you are unlicky and have bought a dud servo ( wouldn't suprise me if they are the stock)

If it doesn't then the RX would appear to be an issue ......

Try it and post again

You also need to change some radio settings when switch to hitec servos.. or they go backwards!
