The original style square brushed laydown/stand up motors do require a skim after a few runs. And the cheaper motors do seem to need skiming more often. Also what gearing have you got it on? As even a tooth or 2 out on gearing can serioulsy effect the life of a motor. My advice would be keep an eye out on ebay or on the forsale section on here and look for a peak/ orion vantage v2 motor or a checkpoint brushed motor. these motors have round brushes and the v2's have angled round brushes this increases comm and brush life.
As for the servo it could well be the servo saver is either tight or needs to be rebuilt.
hope ive help
