Default Cyclone Servo Issue

Well lately i've broken 5 servos in my cyclone...Problem is im snapping the mounts off the servos! Anyone else had these problems? Or anyone got some ideas as its getting very annoying having to keep buying new casings for the servos!

well its not a touring car if thats what your thinking....

Running in that! Wondering if maybe the servo saver needs replacing or spring needs to be replaced or something? As its only recently i've had these problems,Was wondering if i'll also try plastic servo mounts rather than alloy,Hopfully give it more flex....

You seriously don't understand why you're breaking servos??? Have you seen the video you just posted?? That does look like a lot of fun though.

try putting some servo tape underneath the servo case or shoe-goo to mount it to the chassis in addition to the servo mounts.
