At the same time, at some point or another it's our duty to come to grips with the fact that when we break something like a metal geared servo - especially 2 of them in 10 minutes - it's less about what's wrong with the product and more about what we as consumers are doing wrong.
And when you're talking about a small (low profile) servo that's intended for use in on-road cars (according to the manufacturer's specs) whose wheels are protected, it tells me you chose to go against common sense.

But ultimately, servos typically strip gears because you're hitting things or landing jumps with the wheels cranked to one side or another - so if you're going to choose to run them in your buggies you've got to drive very clean. Otherwise, go with standard sized servos like most of us mortals.
