servo savers

[NeilRalph77]

I've used both Schumacher medium and Kimbrough large on my Cougar 2 and neither seems strong enough to stop wheel wag, prior to these I never ran one but did snap a few bell cranks, so what are people using and how effective are they?

Hi Neil,

I only run the x4 ring Xray servo saver. Xray do do a x3 ring as well. Its expensive but excellent. Super strong and does the job perfectly. I wont use nothing else. Used them on the Cougar 2 and Top Force. I have put one on my Avante to use also.

Hope that helps.

Another problem with the Cougars is the single front bearing. This gives massive play/wobble. Back in the day there was 2 modds we did.

1. Schumacher double bearing modd. 2 bearings instead of 1.

2. Fit Associated castor blocks and axles. To run the Associated RC10 wheels with double bearings.


The above stopped the play/wobble.........

Yeh I'm running the u815 twin bearing mod, and everything was good whilst I was direct but the bearing bell cranks aren't particularly easy to come by, so I went to the saver but the amount of wheel wag I get I'm really contemplating getting rid of it altogether. Have you a part number on that xray saver?

Is it XR372502? The 3 ring ending 503?

And your not wrong it is expensive!

That's the one Neil for the x3 ring. Add another pound on for the x4 ring.

Associated do AS7138 for under £5 it's 3 ring but I'd rather take the advice and get the Xray 4 ring. If you think there worth it?
