servo saver

[reg]

Hi just want to know how tight you have the servo saver,iv done mine so the botton of the colar is done up to the threads

[brooksy]

I set mine same as yours but after a few runs out on the street it made it's way loose. I've now tightened it up a bit more than that. My next run with it will be worksop on sunday(hopefully). I'm hopeing it will be ok now.

Aggresive driving sounds like me heavy on the throttle lol
My thumbs like on & off switch

I had moved the ring flush with the bottom of the threads after the servo-saver arm broke at the "V" area. But when I had it set that loose the ring literally ripped the threads off right at where the bearing sits. This area around the bearing seat is way too thin, must be about .005" thick. I bought a new aluminum piece, turned the ring up two rotations from being flush with the bottom so it grabs a thicker area and now I'm breaking the saver arms again. Each one of these pieces needs more meat to handle the stress. There definitely is not a space issue for such tight tolerances. I didn't have this problem for over two months but now every time I go out and run I loose steering.

I'm using a JR 8800S servo(105oz) and running on a high traction indoor clay track.

Hy,
I also got the problem that my servo saver plastic piece broke just after a very little crash <--really nothing heavy,
just toke a curb to fast and done some spinings. maybe there will be a stronger version soon
