From what he told me he contacted one of the distributors here locally and they said the lowpro servo hasnt been holding up in offroad cars. He put a 1257 in and has had no problems, I'v also run a 1257 for the last 8 months or so with a glued servo saver and had no problems.

I installed a Futaba 351bls with the Avid rack since day one, and have not had any issues what so ever.
The 1257 in my buggy now has been around the block since last year when I started this hobby and it has seen plenty of crashes. I ran a glued saver for months, and replaced it with the AVID rack when it came out, and it's still running strong. I think the servo arm or the servo/drag link ballcups would fail first before the 1258/1257 servo gears.
