Update!
Replaced the stripped gears in the servo. Took the aluminum servo savor apart cleaned well, lubed, sanded, and put back together. Smooth as silk. Tested on savy by holding the servo and moving the wheels. Works great. Took out for some bash time and whala went through 4 tanks...
It sound like the truck is stuck in 1st gear. I do not hear it shift like I used to. I have played around with the shift screw anywhere from stock to 6.5 turns out and I still do not hear it shift.

Any Ideas.

rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
I did not know they made a non metal gear version. I will take it apart and look. How tight should the servo saver be? Just so the spring starts to compress.
Update on MSR8 shocks. I could not let this rest. There has to be a reason why the shocks don't work. So far here is what I have found.
The o-rings that are installed have too small of an inner diameter and are to soft and stick to the shaft. I pulled the shaft out and with the o-ring...
Ok today was a day of many troubles.
It started with the stock steering servo stripping gears. So I go to the LHS and pick up a HITEC 5645. Put it in with the ofna horn and 2 minutes in the screw backs out of the the servo and strips the horn. Put new horn on and 5 minutes later does the...
