I can let you know this evening what gear it was exactly. Thanks for your quick response.
I personally would recommend an MG servo with at least 200 OZ @ 6.0v

I have never ran a Clod but I know they are big and heavy

I have an AX-10 , and blew out a 645MG.

Then I switched to 985MG. No problems ( about 50 hours on truck with 985MG)

My advice is to stop spending money on mediocre servos and many gear kits.\
Buy A 985MG or 7955TG, or the newest and strongest (most expensive)
7950TG 444OZ @ 6.0v
