Default Axle extensions. to do, or not to do?

Hey guys. I just installed some 15mm axle/wheel extensions on my RS10. They help HUGE for tire clearances. But, Obviously that puts some extra load on the servo trying to steer this sucker. Are there many guys using extensions?

I need opinions on if guys just don't use these so they have more steering power, Or if you ARE using them and just making the servos more powerful? Leverage, bec's and $$$servos.

i run them on my SCX10 and my bully and havent had a problem yet. both rigs have a BEC, and only lost one servo but it was over a year old. when i had my RS10 i ran them on that also, no problems.
