Wow, been running the stock plastic servo horns in all of my new AE cars! B5, two B5M's, and T5M. never one single issue. Are you guys using the blue ring? If you don't thats your trouble! If you are IDK what the issue is. Even ran my T5M in mod this last weekend and took some ridiculous landings, broke nothing!
Seems like the T5M could use a servo saver.

I ran my T5M for the first time Saturday. During the first qualifier I crashed over a jump and rolled. After being marshaled and I drove off and my truck veered to the right. I pulled off and discovered that my JConcept aluminum steering rack had bent just below the ball stud that attaches to the servo linkage. I put the stock plastic steering rack back on and finished the day. Later on that day my friend bent his JConcept aluminum steering rack in the same place. I am going to keep a tally of Bent/Broken steering racks.
Steering racks bent or broken tally:
JConcept aluminum steering rack - 2
AE aluminum steering rack - 1
AE stock plastic steering rack - 0
Steering racks bent or broken tally:
JConcept aluminum steering rack - 2
AE aluminum steering rack - 1
AE stock plastic steering rack - 0
My jconcepts rack also vent in the same spot.

I broke my kit servo horn on the 1st lap by just bumping the pipe doing about 5 MPH. I looked at the broken piece and there was a hole inside the plastic from an air bubble. Must be a bad batch. I have run the kit horn on my b4, sc10 and 2 b5's with zero issues. I put a replacement plastic horn in and the race night went great.

Has anyone found they cannot get the stock slipper tight enough? I am going to try out the high torque pads and see if that helps.
Also having issues nosing over on wood kick-up jumps. I think the rear chassis is slapping the top of the jump and sending me ass over teakettle. It seems counterintuitive, but maybe the rear needs a stiffer spring or heavier shock oil. Rear traction is not an issue on the carpet track. Thoughts?

You have to find out if its the chassis slapping that is causing the ass over tea kettle or if it is the rear suspension doing it. My Durango 4x4 SCT is being difficult with the same thing, either its the suspension being too stiff causing the flip or too soft causing the chassis to slap and do the same thing.
If the chassis is slapping then you have to go stiffer, if the chassis is not slapping then you have to go softer.
