It looks like a kimbrough servo saver with the outer mounting points cut off

Most model shops or eBay stock them

Ran mine last night with a savox 1251 and had some wheel wobble on the left wheel!
Was my first outing with the buggy and was changing the front a axles to get more steering so im going keep it on for now to see if the wobble goes

How did you guess? Lol I had them trailing and struggled from major understeer put them inline and it felt a lot better! Then changed the insert to the next one forward (from inline) and had loads of steering

Nope, insert 2 makes the axles inline (although I used them in my 2nd race) finished the night on the 1&3 inserts (with no.1 arrow pointing forward)

I was getting quite a bit of understeer at Southport today and I moved my steering form 0 to 1 then 2, then 3. I found the 2 setting was the best.

It's great to have the option to fine tune steering so quick and easy.
