PR Racing 401R-T).
Just this past week I stripped the servo gears in my mini truggy, and I knew exactly the moment it happened was when I quickly turned the wheel on a botched landing from trying to get the truck to level out. That said, the servo was only rated for
167oz-in of torque @6V, I will be swapping it with the A65BHL which is rated for 348oz-in @6V. The A65BHL is in between a shorty and standard servo which makes it a very interesting servo to try.
Anyway here's a closeup of the stripped gears on the A62BLS which ironically use the same replacement gear set as the A65BHL, so check back in another 3+ months to see if the A65BHL holds up!:

Follow-up
After 8+ race days with the A65 in my Mini-Truggy I'm happy to report no more stripped servo gears yet.
After 6 race days with the A62 moved into 1/10 4WD Buggy (13.5T) I just stripped that servo again this past weekend on a tight indoor clay track after tagging a concrete wall coming off the straight.
I plan to replace the A62 with an A80 going forward and do not recommend the A62 for off-road use. If you must have a low profile servo, then consider the A65, it's holding up well for me so far
