does it center when you drive? if so your ok, the stock servo's are not high torque, if it stays to one side when you turn and doesnt return to center when driving, you may have a sripped gear inside the servo or maybe your servo saver is set too loose.

i did check it out, thats why i said maybe the servo saver may be too loose, you may have to tighten it.

I've had 2 of them in the past year or so I had to replace because the plastic part of the servo saver would flex to much. One was on a Volcano and the other on a Tsunami[:-]

u could also tight it up too. I grab a lockranch and locked it on the thread then i used a ranch to tight it up now it doesn't move that much. I hope i don't strip my gears on the servos. I was gonna use my airtronics but it doesn't fit well connector doesn't darn. But
its adjestible. I think I was messing with it last time. LOL i don't know!! I'm going to clean my car too sheesh i miss having it clean.
Now its a bit dirty and alot of crap underneath the gears. Black ****. weired
