Servo saver for Element IFS?

Before you go on a rant about how I don't need a servo saver for a crawler, please hear me out.

I've installed an element IFS kit on my SCX10ii prerunner project, which hits 20-25 mph depending on gearing. I've encountered a problem where if I hit a wall with one of the wheels, it has a high chance of snapping the servo mount, which I've already had to re-print twice.

Is there a servo saver that I could just replace as the stock steering arm?
Maybe something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/ALUMINIUM-SP...keywords=rc+servo+saver&qid=1612374751&sr=8-3

Or this?:https://www.amazon.com/HOT-RACING-S...eywords=rc+servo+saver&qid=1612374791&sr=8-11
There's a heavy duty and medium duty, which is the stiffness of the servo saver.

Thanks

I've just lol a little and say good job on clarifying why you do want a servo saver, it's almost as if knew everyone's first response would be that you should never have a servo saver on a crawler...

I took a quick look at both links you've posted and I'd think either one of those should work fine. Now, I'm not specifically familiar with the complexities of the IFS kit on a 10.2 so I don't know if there's any fit concerns, but as far I'm aware both units you posted are a direct swap for the servo horn.

Lol,

Thanks! I think I'll go with the hot racing one, seems to have better reviews.
