Default Tray Stiffener- 8T

Anyone know where I can get a tray stiffener for my 8T? My spektrum throttle/brake servo took a crap yesterday after only 12 tanks on the truck! I'm assuming that it's partly because of flex on the tray. I just picked up a budget Hitec servo. 9.99 at LHS.

I'm one of the ones who'll say you can live without it. I just blew a servo this last weekend and I have the KingHeadz stiffener. Upon closer inspection, I found that I didn't use the spacers for the servo so it was sitting right on the chassis. I can only surmise that vibrations/shock from the chassis killed it. I've never run a stiffener on my 8 buggy and I have yet to pop a servo on that thing. It certainly doesn't hurt to use one, but it certainly will not be a cure. EPAs, linkage setup and proper placement are the only things that will keep your servo alive.
