I found that the servo wire was binding with the front shock body. I run my micro crawler without springs. So what I did is remove the lower servo housing and with my Dremel and a small carbide ball tool, cut a slot in bottom of the lower housing to pass the servo plug and wire thru.

This set up works the best. There is no more binding between the wire and shock body or the wire and the top shock mount nut on the frame.

I hope this helps you guys out.

Could you post a few pictures of this?

That is a good idea. I have my servo wire taped and zip tied all over everything to keep it from rubbing.

In stock form, mine did the same...
After I relocated the Rx/ESC, I was able to simply force the wire around a different way, as the tension keeps it away from any binding points.
