SX3 Servo Saver?

[Skidmark]

Hi,

As the kit didn't come with a servo saver, I've been running my SX3 without one.

Today was only my third outing and I've managed to strip the gears in my savox servo and I wouldn't have said I had a big crash.

Does anyone else use a servo saver? if so what do you use? and is there any reason why I shouldn't run one?

Thanks

i used a tamiya servo saver, not run my car yet but i have switched it on and tried moving the front wheels to make sure it works, works just fine

This servo is not recommed as steering servo in a off-road car.. have broke a serval sets of gear on mine 1258 both in Cougar and Cat. With a 1258 is the servoarm that strips:-)

im using the same servo, i also used it in the durango and that had some hard hitting action as my driving skills are not the best BUT the servo is still like new and ready to go again.

i would deffo use a servo saver as it does what its called, a servo saver

I run the tamiya servo saver on my cat just as a safty thing .
enny other is a waste of time I think as have tryed a lot of servo savers and none is strong enoff
