Status: online 		when you hold it up in the air does it turn easily, does it turn when driving it? if so, most likely the servo saver is too loose

Status: offline 		it does, its just when its still, and i ahve the servo saver as tight as possible, also i switch the side of the saver cuz it kept getting caught and destroying servos, would that have anything to do with it?

Status: online 		if you set the servo saver too tight it wont absorb the shock of the tires hitting something. you have to keep is set a little loose so it will give instead of the servo giving and breaking or stripping the servo gears.

Status: offline 		another problem im having is that the pull start seems to only catch once, every once in a while it catchs more and starts, is that the one way bearing going or something i can fix inside the starter

Status: online 		sounds like the one way bearing, what fuel are you using, if there is too much oil it can cause it to slip, the sh engine has the one way on the inside of the backplate, you can take it out, clean it with carb cleaner, scuff up the shaft it goes on with steel wool and usually this will let you get some more time out of it. just be careful to make sure the one way shaft is clean after you scuff it up so you get no pieces of steel wool in the engine.

Status: offline 		k well not having the servo saver tight brings another problem, when it turns the to parts come apart more then normal, and would break cleaner work on the bearing?

Status: online 		with that high torque servo it should move the wheels when on the ground, just check and see if the servo arm is moving and just the servo saver is not moving.
