Isn't this the same question you posted in the main mlst thread? Like I said in that thread, I'm not following you. If you're going to get any useful help you need to provide more details. Can't get the saver on? Can't get it lined up correctly? Can't.....

Yeah, the stock servo saver should just pop right on there, you have to take out the screw and white plastic cover first, then just put the saver on and screw it in.

Thats what probably has him confused... The servo arm that comes with the JR 241.

JR 241MG.. You have to drill four holes in the servo though. There is no direct drop in.

You can get the JR's for about 35 dollars for two on eBay (that were I got mine) or I think $40 for each servo on Horizon Hobbies. You will not regret getting a pair! I wasted money on four stock stock servos and replacement gears and then got the JR's. I wish I had switched sooner.

Here are the servos on Horizon- http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=JRPS241
I don't have the metal versions, but I haven't need them yet. You may want to get the non-metal version to save a little money (they are very strong). If you ever need the metal version though you can order this- http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...dID=JRPSG241MG
You should be able to get better deals on eBay though.


If you are wanting more info, search; there are many threads on here about them. If you read the [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_4271535/tm.htm]Mini LST[/link] thread you can find all the info you will need for the Mini LST. Good luck

Yes, you got the right servos... Did you take the servo arm off (the one that came with your new servos)? It's that white thing that looks like an "x"... Did you drill four holes in the servo? Or did you drill two holes in the chassis? Yes, you use the spring... You use every thing you took off the stock servo.

A trip to alsaka... Or do you mean Alaska

Is the servo saver screwed down? They should fit in fine, mess around with them a little (it is going to be a simple problem).. Which way do you have the servos facing?

That would be the correct way.. I find it weird that you are having problems. I know it has to be something simple that I am missing.
