| I normally stop after I break one. Actually I haven't broken a steering knuckle yet. I can feel it coming though with my super aggressive driving. |

| Wow to me the knuckles look a bit flimsy. I would have expected more people to break that tab off by now. |

| I broke a front one last week while doing normal rock crawling, going no faster than 2mph. However, this did occur when I replaced my stripped out TowerPro MG995 (metal gear) with a Hitec 5955-TG. |

| I use a JR 9000 T servo. Broke 4 steering arms before installing the aluminum ones. I also installed the new CVDs. Had to drimmel down the steering arms to stop the arms from bumpimg the axle Cs. I have a lot better turning radius now with the new parts. |

| Jeff, Is the jr 9000 the one you meant? If so how much do they run and would they work well on a crappy radio? I can use a reciever batt pack also |

| i am not anywhere near my rig to see if it is the 9000 but every high end servo is priced about the same mine was a 129 bucks pretty much what all the good ones go for from any brand and it doesnt matter what radio you own.. a servo is a servo depending on what brand of reciever you run you might have to change the harness plug.. |

| Cool thanks. I am just looking for a servo with about 200oz or so. I think I will get cheap tower or hitec and use like a 6 cell batt pack. That should get me near. |
