i want to steer my rc car from its control
What does this mean?
and get the position of the servo
How? Are you planning to add an encode, or something? You can only get the last position you commanded the servo to, if you are writing code for a micro-controller to position the servo.
You can open up the servo and connect a wire to the wiper of the feedback pot, then run that wire to an Arduino analog input. Make sure that the signal doesn't go above 5V.
You can connect a digital input to the control signal going to the servo and use pulseIn() to measure the pulse length which tells the servo what position to go to. Typically 1000 microseconds is about 0 degrees and 2000 microseconds is about 180 degrees.
None of the RC cars I have , have servos.

Mine neither, but since the OP said "get the position of the servo" I figured theirs has one.
None of the RC cars I have , have servos.
How do you steer them? How do you control the speed? Each of mine has 2 servos in addition to the gas or electric power system.
