Seen several 1258tg broken, a couple AE 1015, and several spectrum servos. All are 1/8
capable servos. 1/10 buggys with all aluminum steering deal out way more punishment to
the gearset in servos than anything i have seen in 8 years of nitro. We race on astro so the
speeds higher but the amount of servo failures latey is shocking.
well yeah i did say "hi quality servo".. a 1258tg is a $59 servo that i would consider at the lower end of the quality spectrum.
i race on super high grip carpet and have never had a servo fail or even seen one of my buddies have a servo gearset fail, i have on the other hand seen plenty of plastic servo horns and racks fail in the cars of newer / inexperienced drivers, needless to say they all upgrade to aluminium..
