TRF 502X Servo saver

[kidcongo]

Anyone have problems with the stock TRF 502C servo-saver/horn slipping a notch during a race. Seems like the plastic is too soft? Is there an upgrade?

That servo saver isn't without issues, but that is a problem I havn't encounterd yet. It sounds to me you're not using the correct part (number of teeth).

I am definitely using the right adapter, with the right number of teeth. It has happened to me twice, and really throws the race when your car is suddenly 15° off center. Anyways, it happened once, and i replaced the part and then it happened a second time. Not during any huge crash or anything. Maybe just bad luck for me.

Hi,
I've had the same problem. The "solution" was to buy another #51000 and the hop up #54121. I think that the problem is the servo saver springs that didn't fit perfectly in the Q1 or Q3 part and Q5 (there is a gap between the springs and the Q1/Q3 part -springs are too short-). And crash after crash, the pressure decreases between the springs making them move more easily in the gap.
Another solution is to buy the direct servo horn hop up #42248 or #42249 (but I think it is too aggressive for the servo).
I have the #51000+#54121 and it works fine but sometimes, after a big crash, I need to trim the steering a little.

Best regards

With today's new metal gear servos you don't need to run a servo saver...
