I think that if I case a jump (the chassis is already bowed in the center by just 1/32 and over a year old), it may be flexing enough to hit the bottom of the servo. I cased a jump intentionally last night following a fellow racer because I was coming up on him too fast and didn't want to hit him in the turn after the jump. The servo went out right after.
Maybe it's time for a new chassis? What do you all think?
If you don't want to buy a new one yet, I have one with low runtime on it. You can have it, as I'm not sure that you want to keep running a tweaked chassis. Even if you space the servo up, if you have the bend started, any rough landing will keep bending it.
I'll bring it with me. Should only take 15 min or so to swap out the chassis.
