Is there a Servo saver that will Fit in the X-5

[cutting edge]

Hi all me again

I feel the need for a servo saver in my X-5 as i need a better servo in her .. Problem is i cant find a servo saver that fits under the bodyshell i have tryed a couple ........

I have a very good £100 servo i want to fit but can't risk it without a servo saver ...

The only thing i could see to do was buy a slim servo and cut down the mounts for it to lower it in the car so i could then get a servo saver in on top , But this ment trying to sell my good servo to fund another good but slimmer servo....

Any Ideas i have seen a pic somewhere of an X-5 with a servo saver on..

Even the good servo savers seem to give and allow your buggy to push. If you have a metal gear servo installed the Losi servo horn should strip before you strip the gears in the servo........

Yes the servo horn did strip which is why i wanted to fit a servo saver as what could mount upto a servo horn a meeting could become quite costly and if it only strips 1 tooth lets say it will make the steering bad for that meeting without knowing the problem.............

In my opinion, if you race on any kind of medium/high grip and you want to be competitive you can’t run a servo saver in a 4wd, any 4wd. If you do you’ll loose lock on load which is no good.

Assuming you have a metal geared servo. What you want is a KO or Fastrax servo horn pack. These come with a steel ring round the outside of the spline area to stop them stripping. I have ran these on every 4wd car I’ve ever had (4 years of running) on my 2123’s and never damaged a servo on the XXX4’s, xx4 and X5’s I’ve ran. Fastrax ones are fluro colours, KO do them in a stealth black, can do you a pic tonight if you need?

This is the type of thing I was on about.

That pic was frm here http://www.jespares.com/catalog/prod...oducts_id=1145 but go anywhere.

I got the same thing but in black and KO from Lesro models for about the same price. You chop off the arms you don't need.
