SERVO SAVER QUESTION
 
Well I just got my parts in today. I upgraded my header and replaced the broken rear shaft mount. I relplace some worn out pin mounts and put my new body on. Yes sir the Volcano SV PRO looked mighty sharp, and she ran like a bat out of hell. However, I am learning that there is always something that can ruin your fun, today it was the servo saver. A couple of weeks ago I noticed that the truck had stopped turnning left. I tightened the servo saver and it seemed to be o.k. , but today I noticed it was having a hard time turning left and right. A little more trouble turning left than right, and the servo seemed to shake instead of pushing the linkage. I don't know if I tightened it too much or if I've just stripped the saver beyond repair. If I do have to replace it are there any suggestions on how tight to run the next one? Any input would be appreciated.:D

Look closely at the servo saver and where the two pieces come together << if the plastic sticks out at all just go ahead and replace it (servo saver) get a couple of them there cheap [&o]

yeah, the plastic is sticking out. Good advice to get extras, that's probably a good idea for most of the parts I buy. Maybe I'll just open up a Redcat hobby shop!:D

You might check your Servo, as well....Sounds like you MAY have stripped some of the gear teeth inside the servo.
