Need Help with 8ight Steering Arm
I've got a problem with the insert inside my 8ight's steering arm stripping out. If I land a jump wrong and hit the outside of the wheel, it will strip the teeth off of the insert and throw my steering off. Have any of you had this same problem?

Your servo saver might be too tight, which will put more pressure on the servo/servo Arm to hold the tires turned. I've never stripped the insert on the stock Servo arm, but i would make sure your servo saver isn't too tight. You can always upgrade to the Aluminum Servo Arms by Losi, part numbers below:
JR - LOSA99030
AIR/KO - LOSA99031
FUT - LOSA99032
Hitec - LOSA99033

I would also check to make sure you are using the right insert for the servo. If you are using the wrong insert it may not fit right and that could cause it to strip out. I have been using the same insert for about 2 months now with plenty of tumbles and I haven't had any trouble. That is the only problem i could see that would happen other than what has already been stated.
