Brookstone Rover Question

Just Unpacked!

Hi there I just unpacked my EZ-Robot kit and I am very excited. I got everything going except the normal servos. I can hear the sound of them turning but the servo is not actually turning. Yes I know I am doing stupid but please guide me. My continious servos are working fine. I am in my infant stage but I can see I will have lots of fun!
