Really, there are a lot of factors about these servos going out. The other prob is an easy to open carb setup. Some carbs, if they are out of line just a little, will not open smoothly.

If you have an RTR the problem is most likely the carb. I have cleaned out every one we have sold. lubed up the slide real good, cut the throttle return spring, put a button head screw on the pull arm rather than the set screw to get the pull spring straighter and then checked alignment to majke sure it is right.
Only then did the normal stuff come into play like EPAs and grommets on the servo.
It is a good idea to put a small fuel tubing on the pull side of your throttle linkage. Let the throttle servo have this extra little bit of padding in case the chassis twist while you are WOT. It will not allow your throttle servo to strain.

Hope this helps.
