Default Throttle servo adapter skipping?

So Iwas running the 2.0 today, on the race track, amd found that my servo adapter(steering) would skip after my really bad landings. Just want to know if this is a crappy driving(I am really not good) problem or something I should worry about. Believe me I am king of the baseball diamond but NOOO skill on a real track.

Well....I'd first check where the servo arm sits is nice and tight and that the servo arm isn't worn and that the teeth are meshing properly. Then I'd take the servo out and open it up to make sure you haven't broken any teethin there. Thenmake sure your servo saver is set up properly. Check that the ackerman plate is functioning properly as well and nothing is sliding out of place....

That's where i'd start. Good luck.

The crappy traxxas arm i have on my truck does that sometimes. Make sure the servo isn't damaged and then i would get a metal arm designated for your servo brand. Also make sure your servo saver is at the right tension And the screw is properly tightened and thread locked.
