The other day I cracked the steering arm that connects to the servo horn. I think it's part g73910 but anyway, I glued it back together and it was steering beautifully. Until that is a gear in the stock steering servo cracked. I went out and bought a hitec high tourque servo to replace it which also worked great for about 3 tanks until the gears in it stripped. Just looking for some advice here on anything I could check that might be cause the gears to strip. I was thinking perhaps there is too much travel and the wheels were sort of locking in place but I'm still not sure. Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Ya, you gotta watch that setting on the servo saver. I killed the stock servo, and a JR 188oz metal gear servo in the same week. Actually in two runs... LOL. Since then i have backed it wond a bit, and havent had any problems with the Hitec 645 servo.
