stock steering servo arm weakness

[jeeper049687]

Hey, last week got my first R/C, only been waiting for 10 years but its been worth it. I love my new Rampage XT, even though i've already broken it. but besides the bearing overheating in the stock plastic plate, having a wheel nut come off and dissapear; "btw my wheel nuts are 10mm with a 1.50 thread pitch, my hobby shop guy did not have a clue lol guess its an upgrade." well im ordering the belt drive, aluminum plate and larger bearings but what i also noticed is the servo arm for steering is not broken yet but its almost like its been overheated and is bendy/ has a wavy movement to it when moving the wheels manually. im just wondering if there is somewhere i can get a stronger arm, would have to buy a different servo, or if there is a way to brace the arm?


Any advise is much appreciated, thanks.

You could use a hpi aluminum servo arm.

I'd run it till it brakes. If you upgrade to the Hitec 5755. DDM gives a free aluminum servo arm with purchase. Use HBF for a discount code and you will get another 5% off.

If you get the 5755, don't forget to tighten up your servo saver and adjust your D/R. Otherwise, your steering will suck.
