talking servo mounts,, a lot of people are saying on the various forums etc they recommend to fit the alloy mounts if the servo you are using is a powerful one, i'm running a Futaba S9451 servo in my rat which is a high response servo (i.e bloody fast) & has someting like 8.5kg of torque & am finding the kit mounts are more than substantial enough, so IMHO the only reason to go for the alloy mounts is for the bling factor.

Plus i would of though removing any flex from the mounts would only transfer stress to either the servo body or direct to the cars chassis & personally i would happily live with a £2 part breaking once in a blue moon & a quick fix.
