Needing some help finding the right steering servo. I have ran about a half gallon through it and i my 3rd servo just broke. The first 2 were the stock servo. The inside of the top cap broke on these 2. So i upgraded to a hi tec with 130tq. Got about 3 tanks and the gear (metal) stripped. With these big tires do i need to get a servo with 200tq ? I have not ran into anything or any big jumps. It's all stock. Any links to a good servo or any other advice would be great. Thanks

The servo saver may be too tight, you should try to loosen it up a little.

If you are stripping name brand metal gear servos you have an issue with the servo saver like he said or perhaps a geometry/binding problem, more torque is probably not the answer and may lead to more breakage.

Thanks. I will loosen the servo saver. Not to sure i understand how it is supposed to work. I will loosen it about 2 hole turns?  I have seen others upgrade to the alum. servo saver, would that help any? Thanks for the help.

it wont help stripping gear, i would suggest at least 2 turns, it must be super tight for it to be stripping servo's like that.

  Thanks for the help. I will loosen it and see if that helps.
