I am using an XP DS1313, the stock plastic horn snapped first run out. Switched to the aluminum with plastic insert and stripped the insert. Switched to aluminum only, no insert and broke the gears inside the servo. Fixed that and went back to the aluminum with plastic insert. The link that goes between the servo horn and steering rack was tight on the ball studs, associated sent me a new one that is looser on the ball studs and that helped for awhile, but now last weekend, another stripped out insert. I am at a complete loss...
