Angry XX4 steering bell cranks

Im going through a lot of these bell cranks lately. One of me mates has the older style grey horn on his and has no problems. Are the grey ones stronger?? My steering is set so its not straining the servo either, and i dont crash as much as i used to do!! Its just the little knocks and the teeth say bye bye!!!

add 2 washers to the top that holds the horn on, one that fits inside and fills the recess and the other slightly bigger to cover the top, never had a problem since doing this.

the grey ones were stronger but were omitted from the re-release worlds kit.

do the washer mod

or find a standard type servo horn to fit from memory it would be a 25 spline fitting without the keyway meaning a futaba horn would fit (might be a 24 spline making it a hitec)

Last time i ran my XX4 I broke 3 of these bellcranks and they were all fitted with a longer screw, and using a couter sunk washer on top. I just took the whole spline off.
