Status: offline 		the number of teeth on the spline is different for each servo, so you will need a new servo saver, or adapter.

Almost 200oz for $5 more.

Also, this will fit your servo, is stronger than the stock servo horn, and is acutally a servo saver. So is the stock one, but it sucks and costs much more.

Status: offline 		well race day was today, not a hiccup from the MGT, ive resorted to not bothering with the grub screws in the centre CVDs anymore, the pins ive just heatshrinked in there.

Worked great for about 2 hours of running

So yeah, finished 3 finals and the A main, the MGT stalled out for no reason after a jump in the amain, i rushed and started it but by that time i had lost 2 laps, so throughout the race i hammered through the track, finishing in 2nd 30 seconds down, not bad for being out for 2 laps lol. All in all im very happy, the stock arms have way to much droop in them though, so RPM arms will help massivly. Got my self a 9mm sportwerks carby to put on the SH to, so that should liven it up a bit from the stock 6mm mach carby.

Status: online 		Wow, yeah that'll help the engine a ton!

What size heatshrink did you use? I've been having the problem of losing grub screws wayyyy to much too. GRRRRR

I've gone through a pack in like a month! With locktite!

Status: offline 		yeah, my front one is good, havnt had a problem, the original grub screw and pin are still in there, i recently got a new rear centre CVD, and the grub screw was always working its self out, even with redlocktight and taping out all the old threadlock.

The Heatshrink im using is from work, its a high strength automotive heatshrink from wurth, once shrunk it goes hard enough, but not to hard so it has some slight flexibility, awesome stuff. So yeah, dont have to worry about them dam fins anymore lol.

Im hunting down some 40 series velocity 23mm rims and foams so i can try out my bowties on the track, see if it helps with stability at all. And ive got some RPM arms coming, as mine are stuffed so i resorted to using the stockers lol.

I originally had a ported 9mm SH carby on it, but that developed a nice gauge in the carb body where the slide slides, so it had a habbit of leaning out at idle and increasing idle or stalling, it went like a rapped ape though. So il be happy to get a larger carby back on the ported SH28 prospec, as the porting comes to life when it can breathe properly
