OK then dude,

The servo saver is of the Kimborough variety, and it is the mid size one. I have not had any problems with the spring in it however I tend to replace the servo saver every month anyway as a precaution. I didnt get on with the stock Tamiya one, just seemed too sloppy for me, even with the tie wrap mod on it. You could however run a stock alloy steering arm on the servo if you have a good metal geared servo, but seeing as Im paranoid about stripping gears on servos I dont do it, although I could get away with it if I wanted. Of course the other servo saver that works is the Losi one that is designed for the xxx4, I have run these in an emergency and they seem fine, and I know plenty of guys that run these week in week out with no worries what so ever.

As for the alloy steering parts, the alloy base is a waste of time as the stock plastic item is more than adequate and as it is not prone to wear I wouldnt worry. The arms I think are a welcome addition just takes a little more flex out of the steering and the car somehow feels more positive. The steering bridge looks to be a good option as it provides different ball stud mounting holes so that Acerman angle changes can be made, I have not put the bridge on the race car, its just on the bling machine for now, as Jimmy has the other one I ordered for testing with Woody.
