I kinda agree with that, I think that everyone(including myself the first time around) having issues more than likely have their linkages setup incorectly. I also believe that the endpoints may look to be set correctly while the car is on the bench but when you get out on the track all the flex is changing the geometry of the car and making the endpoint on the brake side to tight thus killing the servos. Thats just my 2 cents.
