It is not normal, most like due to end points not being adjusted and/or servo saver not doing it's job. Make sure you are setting your steering trim/end points so the servo isn't trying to continue to turn when it has reached the physical limit of its travel. This will usually cause the servo to die quickly but stripped means it either got stuck and you kept trying to turn it or it too a heck of a shock that pushed it past where the servo could turn...is this normal or is there something i can do to prevent this from happening

Thanks been looking at the proline same setupI have my steering set up perfectly and I’ve stripped out the arrma horn. They’re not that durable. The x-hard EXB spring adds additional stress. I’ve had good luck with the integy one that has screws on the side for additional bite.

+1My guess, servohorn wasn't installed correctly. Probably not seated all the way. Was this a metal horn or plastic?
End point adjustment is definitely a must but typically it will burn out the servo motor before the servo horn gets damaged.
If the horn wasn't fully seated it would strip as it's now the weakest link.
Was a protek t130 burnt out couple days install eco power ws120@LOVE RC what servo are you using?
Agreed, the horn wasn't seated all the way down.
Needs to be all the way down, loosen any screws on the horn to make that happen.
Also, check your servo saver, not that it's locked. That will do all kinds of harm, needs to be 'tight enough' but not more.
Did you ever adjust your servo travel?
ThanksUmm, that is RC'ing 1:1. Limit servo travel, so it doesn't bottom out/hit anything.
It will cause damaged horns, broken servos and if unlucky burn up your receiver.
Very easy to do, just look at it and use your travel adjust knob on the transmitter.
