Hi there
I just recently broke my Jato steering servo (totally my fault, so far the Jato has been extremely durable. I have had at least 50 bad accidents and this has been the first thing to break). Anyways I bought a new Hitec 625mg servo with metal gears and attached it to my Jato. The piece that was on my other servo (the standard traxxas servo) that attaches the servo to the servo saver doesn't seem to grab to good and when there is some force put on it it seems to just strip and not steer properly. None of the attachments that came with the servo seem like they can hook up to the servo saver. Any ideas of what I can do. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! I want to get it fixed asap and get back to driving before winter.
Thanks in advance for your time/suggestions!

Well I’m not familiar with the Jato or it's steering.
Are you talking about the servo horn?? If so, you will need the Hitec ones or get some of [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXS483&P=7]these servo horns.[/link]
I use the Kimbrough ones with good results.

for the hitec servo to work you need to purchase the jato servo horn set for non traxxas servo`s,the stock servo horn will fit futaba servo`s they have the same number of splines as traxxas servos,airtronics hitec and JR are different splines than stock, i put the same servo in mine
