tiger - if you have toasted 4 servo's. then obviously something is really wrong. Either something is bound up, not set right, moving, twisting, something... Im pretty sure the northeast is a little hotter than Norway. I race in 95 degree weather with 60-70% humidity.. I haven't blown any servos up (9157 futaba) and my buddy who uses (Hi-tec) hasnt blown any up. I do know people who use airtronics has had issues but i wont comment on Airtronics I will say make sure you use the spacers for the tray. My servo looks like 1/8" off the chassis with the spacers.

As for the recent series of toasted servos... How are you guys routing the wires? While it might just he a heat issue, I also wouldn't discount a mechanical issue caused by pressure or vibration.

i have yet to have any issues with my servos, I have been using the mounts like they are, with the fingers to help hold the servo solid so it doesnt move. I have solid mounted my servos for years in all my vehicles never with a problem. I do however run heli servos in 1/8 cause they are built to handle high amounts of vibration that Heli's cause. I am using the JR DS8911HV and DS8917HV. Neither heat nor vibration have been an issue in my Serpent, and I have raced when it was over 100 degrees, and with an engine reaching 250 degrees. Also no problems with the throttle servo horn stripping, but I am anal about getting my linkage and end points perfect, and keeping it all smooth and bind free

yea, i dont understand this ROAR body junk. They say the bodies are straying to far from being realistic. But show me a real baja or offroad type of buggy that actually resembles any current style 1/8 buggy, or even a truggy for that matter. Back in the day of the OG rc10 and the Losi JRX, those bodies loosely ressembled real buggies. ROAR just needs to let evolution take its course.

tecno power is lovely.easy to break in 9min easy smooth acceleration but you have to run it with 25% nitro otherwise is a mess to tune it.i recomend it.now i am getting an orion crf of 2008 do u know them guys any good?

The stock towers delaminate. I have to say everyone I know that runs the car on Supercross style tracks like the Nitro Pit has delaminated the tower glued or not. Mine delaminated on a flat landing not even a crash. I will be the first in line for the King Headz towers.

But now, wasted 4 of them in The Serpent. Really like The car, but replacing servos every 45 min gets expensive :-)
