First time out with my DEX410R

[TonyM]

I had the first run with my DEX410R this weekend. When it was working it was super to drive, but I had two issues:-

1. My servo saver broke. I had set the nut at 1.4mm as advised in previous threads. It would seem that this is a common problem - is there an alternative which can be fitted?

2. The small M3x6 screw which goes into the end of the slipper assembly came loose and I ended up with a 2WD car. This happened first at Leyland on Friday and I thread locked the screw after that, but it happened again at Formby today. Have any others had this problem?

What brake exactly?
Maybe this is the solution: LINK


That was also my problem.
And i want to change the servo sayer today at it was not possible for me to unscrew it so now is also Servosaver Shaft and the servosaver nut defect.....

Thanks Steve I'll order one of those.

I think the problem was caused after it suddenly became a 2WD car and when trying to make a largish jump there was little power and I hit the second jump quite hard (put a hole in the plywood, much to the distain of the guy that built it ). I retired and after fixing the slipper screw issue the next time I raced I only managed a few laps before the steering went. I think hitting the big jump must have cracked it.

No pictures I just binned it.

It became 2WD because the screw came out of the rear end of the Slipper Assembly. The pin dropped out and hey presto no rear drive.
