FG MB Servo Saver Question
I am putting together a bearing supported servo saver for my FG MB and was wondering where to put the 4 O rings. I have no clue where they go. The pic and inst. say nothing about them but does have them on the parts list. Anyone know? Thanks
I believe you add them as needed to the end of the arm to increase or decrease tension

Talking to alot of people that race in Europe.......they recommend the elcon servo saver.... its fully adjustable, it uses a spring to adjust the tension
here is an assembly video

The servo saver is silky smooth in operation and enables you to fine tune your steering geometry by the use of several options for locating the track-rods and the servo linkages. The force required to enable the servo saver is the same in either direction and the spring tension is fully adjustable. An extra spring is included for those who run an extra strong servo, eg the Tonegawa.
For the Leopard an extra collet is needed to mount the servo saver, ask your dealer for part number: 18410-05.

I didn't and wouldn't ues any of them untill the spring starts to become soft. In it's raw form it already has almost to much holding power.
