Wraith steering servo issue

[wheeler chaos]

I'm not sure if anyone has mentioned this, but I made a discovery that may be contributing to stripped servos (I'm on number 4).

If you have the stock bumper on, and apply some pressure too the front, my servo horn would hit one of those little plastic bits hanging down for d rings.

Again mine has a bunch of mods, but thought it was worth mentioning.

I cut mine off and so far so good..

Thats funny, mine doesnt hit. It just barely clears, but it clears. The guy that put the truck together had the rubber tabs on the servo and it kept working loose so I took them off. I havent had any problems yet.

There's barely enough room in the stock plate to drill 2 new holes to move the servo back about 1/4" so it clears the crossmember and actually improves the linkage ratio. You gotta flip the servo so the horn clears the diff cover and make a new drag link. A stock AX-10 upper is the perfect length.

I've had my servo moved back since it was built so there's never been any sort of binding, but have still managed to strip three 7954SH's, so there's other things at play here.

I can see that their are other issues at play, but I'm fairly certain this contributed too my problems.
The front bumper is shimmed out a little (2mm) too clear the servo horn.
When the front suspension was compressed ,and I went too turn left, the drag link rod end (attached too the end of the horn) would smack into the drivers side plastic d ring deal.
