But on the 2.0 is for you to get the gear mesh lined up correctly. Over time the mesh will come loose causing the gears to skip and possibly breaking the teeth on the gears inside the bulkhead

It doesn't if you put the grommets like you should, and set your endpoints properly. I ran an 8ight for a long time and had ONE throttle servo fail, due to it being a crappy servo. Not the car's fault... $35 servos don't last long on anything.

NOTE: Unless they've corrected this issue... the 8ight 1.0 servo saver is more durable than the 2.0.
