Before i replace with another Kimborough, i thought id ask the Q. Thanks. Col.

I have always used Kimborough and have sworn by them since they came out with the large one, but as I have now gone from Kyosho to a Tamiya and have now started using the smaller one, which is still just as good.
I have been in this game for a long time and have never broken a servo, and I cant fault the servo saver at all, so maybe you are just unlucky with the one you have, as nothing is perfect. If you dont like them the other alternative is Kyosho or Tamiya, but they are not as good and the spring isnt up to the job, or you can do as I did with my old Lazer buggy and build your own servo saver into the steering.
