My 3 sons have a lunchbox each but 1 of them is more of a keen driver than the other 2 and has gone through 3 of the 4 steering servos I had inc a couple of Futaba's. Just put my last 1 in tonight ready for weekend but Im seriously thinking a Hitec 645mg will be worthwhile and take more hammer. Either that or I get myself a new steering servo for the FG and use 1 of my largescale Hitec steering servos instead :D. Ive checked the set up & its fine and he's not a bad driver he just likes to do the jumps which is where it seems to come a cropper. Never known a 10th scale to be like this tho but I suppose the MT wheels put more strain on the servo than a buggy. Its a boys day out on Saturday weather permitting so I will take my camera and get some videos of them with my bug. He is only 9 but a wiz at video editing so will post them up when he has finished :cool2:
 
try a savox sc-0251mg mate only £30 odd and a great powerfull strong servo maybe worth a try running them in both my fg's @16.5kg more than enough power for the little lunchbox
 
I tell you mate this has been 1 hungry lunchbox, it eats servos for feckin breakfast! Was thinking the 645mg as they are pretty reliable but the torque is nowhere near the Savox you mention. Will get 1 of them instead and have it on the back burner ready for when it eats the Acoms Ive just put in it!!
 
its a strange one mate as the servo saver should prevent this happening and its normaly the steering arm plastic ball joints that pop off before the servo dies plus standard servos like the acoms ect are only @1-3kg and plastic gears so id upgrade to a stronger mg servo even one of those tower pro jobs would be ok in a lunchbox
