Setting aside the lack of understanding of how gas racing works, even if Elliot had been a direct qualifier to the main, the servo would most likely have failed during the final. Servos get a right beating in an 8th buggy and even with new ones fitted for the event, any can fail at that important moment.
In prepping for the finals, you can clean, replace and look at every part of a car. In general it's a bit difficult to look at a servo and judge if it was ok. Fitting new for the final would be considered a risk, as that pair could equally fail.
Elliot drove wonderfully from the very first practice and came out of the worlds as a bigger player in RC than before. Hopefully an international title is around the corner for him.
And if you don't like the format, best you propose to ifmar your ideas, however top 4 in and tq in have both been done before, and now removed as per Darren comment.
