servo saver?
a servo saver is generally two pieces of plastic in your steering bellcrank that allow some flex in your steering assembly in case of impact. Basically, its there to absorb the force of an impact without transferring that force to your servo and possily damaging its gears.

Again, VR4 is right... There is 2 types, one is what Buggie_r_us post and other other one is directly hooked to the servo. The names says it all, it save your steering servo during a accident. Instead of striping or breaking your servo, the servo saver will break before the servo does. Its better replacing a part under 10-20 bucks than a 60-120 dollar servo.

hey buggies any advantage of that one vs the plastic ones?
i just my xs3 today and the new servos that came with it and need to get a new servo saver since the ones i have are the plastic ones that go onto of the servo. they are too big and dont actually "clip" onto the top so i need to get new ones.

The only advantage is that the once the point get out of place, you can put it back, unlike the one ont he servo. If the servo saver don't fit, it's because of the little cap that has to have the right tooth for the servo. If your servo wasn't a JR before, then it has different teeth, and will not fit.

yeah i know its different teeth and even a different diameter.
and once the plastic ones get the impact that would cause it to "save" your servo it wont go back on ?

Actually VR4 just said there are 2 parts to it..lol
I personally think the aboe design is better.
My 1/10 had the "onboard" servo saver your talking about.
They both work, but I like to have things simple and separate. With the onboard, everything is scrunched into the top of the servo and a little metal piece can only do so much!
By the way. The holding power of the 945 Hitec is pretty amazing. I tried to figh it and lost lol. they aint playin when they say 180 ozs lol
