You don't have a tie rod hanging low.... but I've heard of a lot of guys burning up servos that way.

bergs are wierd in the way where that is one of the only ways that you can really set up the steering using the stock servo mount. the other way is to have the servo arm facing up like this Bonus line's berg

other than that there really is no need for it.

i suck at driving and a servo arm facing up would last 5 min on my truck

Why would it only last five minutes on your rig if you say that you can't drive?

Wouldn't the horn be more protected when up higher rather than down low where it snags and gets smacked by rocks?

I thought the problem with the upturned horn was that it made the angle too big and reduced the ability to better transfer the power between the horn and the knuckle.

when you roll you land right on top of it. one good hit is all it takes for the steering arm to snap

True true! I did run mine up like that for a while - I was trying to raise my links up a bit so that they hooked less. I was more concerned about the bashing I was giving the horn when I ran into things while rightsideup. I never thought of the upsidedown problems because my rig NEVER rolls over
