Although I could've sent the servo in for a free warranty replacement pin, I opted to make a quick repair myself and figured I would start my own testing by using a body clip which is the exact same 1.6mm diameter I need, and I believe these body clips are about as soft of a metal as I can get in this diameter





I've got 4+ race days with the servo installed in my recently built E8T evo3:

I have already bought an SRT 9032 servo to replace the CT1 when the pin snaps again... only question is will it go longer than 15 race days with the softer metal???


Good news is that a snapped pin has never caused a DNF, but I make it a point to check for a locked servo after every race just to be sure as the symptom for a snapped pin. If you continue to use the servo after the pin has snapped, then you risk bending the shaft of the servo motor which could make the servo un-repairable... been there, done that with an AGFrc servo already
