Keep breaking steering servo's

Do they just burn out or do you strip the gears when you impact something?

Stiping gears, last on failed when I was coming out of a turn, havent had anything that I considered unusally hard impacts, normal backyard field bashing...Thanks

I''m not familiar with the steering setup on that truck, but it sure sounds like it''s set up too tight. Metal gears shouldn''t be letting go that easily, even if they are RTR grade. Heck, I''ve still got the original steering servo in my MGT four years out and lots of HARD crashes with no trouble. Try loosening it up a good bit next time you run it.

Thanks thats exactly what im going to do, these hi torques are expensive so I will go way lose and see how it goes... Thanks a bunch

Fixed it, servo saver was way tight, ran 6 tanks yesterday with a couple of good flips/rolls and no damage the the servo jsut some other sacrificable pieces but thats racing thanks for the feedback [8D]

also if you have a programmable radio, adjust the EPA (end point adjustment) to one or two percent lower then full travel (right to left). Thats what i do on mine and so far so good.
