Servo saver problems. :(

[bandyleg]

Hi everyone, I have bought my x6 second hand and since having it i have been convinced that its been under steering, I had tried servos and different set ups to no joy! So today i asked one of my local club drivers to do a heat with my car to get a second opinion, It turns out my thoughts were nearly right, The servo saver actually seems to be doing its job too well as it was straightening up under heavy load and basically doing what the hell it wanted but on closer inspection it appears that its as tight as can be.

Im wondering if any body else has had the same problem and if so can any one shed any light on how to fix it as there seems to be nothing broken or loose.

Change the spring to the hard associated ft one, or lock it up completely.

Ok thanks ill have a play with it, I dont really want to lock it up but i have a play.

You could always shim it to make it a bit tighter

I believe some people glue togeater the B4 servo saver, for the reason you describe. Alot of 2wd cars don't have servo savers now.

Had the same problem. Car felt very lazy and just under steered. I glued it up and the car was fine

You really want to be running the heavy duty spring from team associated at minimum. Some racers will also put a dab of super glue between the two plastic pieces to eliminate the saver. There are also aluminum bel cranks available from avid and gpm. These options all depend on skill level.
