Hpi Pro 4

I had a bit of side-to-side play in my spur gear, so when I came to rebuild my car I tried adding another spacer behind the e-clip, this didn't work because I couldn't then get the e-clip on. Instead I moved the spacer from behind the e-clip and placed it further back with the other 2 spacers. When this was done there was no more play in the spur, and I didn't even have to add any spacers . If you don't understand that let me know and I'll show you on the instructions

I was at the 6th Annual Hitec race this weekend, and one o the HPI guys told me that with the *new* gear sets it was important to use both the new Ring and Bevel gears together... Altohough I personally never had a problem with the original gears (in fact I'm still running th one that came with my original kit), I will be swapping them out for this weekends KoPropo Race at the famous Tamiya USA HQ..
On a side... Just wanna praise my PRO4 again... I was able to secure a solid 5th spot in the 19t A-main.. Qualified 5th, finished 5th... could have possibly made the last podium spot, but traffic was an issue... Lap times were there but unfortunately, there were a couple other who wanted it just as much as I did and decided to use their bumpers to get it...
I have been running this PRO4 for the last few months on a variety of different surfaces, and everyone I have been able to adapt and adjust quickly to with this platform... Quite a few people made snide remarks about me running the PRO4, but were very quiet when they saw how well we performed...

Stripped Servo's
OK - I've tried everything and can't work out why:-
I've stripped gears in 2 servo's and broken the splined shaft in another on my Pro 4.
The stripped gears came after a very 'small' touch onto track kerbing, the broken shaft was result of a neat 'take-out' by another driver with a direct hit on that side of the car.
I've checked everything is free and the servo saver is working (purple alloy one).
Apart from fitting a servo saver direct to the server has anyone any ideas??
Or any one else having this problem?

P.S. I just spoke with an HPI rep, and he's getting out my gears right now.
