    New guy with some steering troubles....

    Got my new servo saver and bearings all installed! Just wanted to say thanks for the help guys! I was out bashin' it a bit last night and it was awesome to not have to worry about blowing out the servo every jump or hard hit. I updated the 1st post so hopefully it'll help someone out from...

    starting my savage

    I wanna know how you only start your Savage once a month man! I haven't gone a day without running for a least a little while! Too much fun!

    Thanks guys, yeah the one's from SMF (where I got that pic) are only .99 a piece. Thanks for the heads up on that.

    What bearings are they? For the arm that attaches to the servo? Anybody got a link?

    Thanks man, for sure the HPISF guys have helped me out a ton in the past couple weeks! Someday I'll have an idea what's going on to pass it forward to other new guys!

    So, I found this parts tree but I'm not sure what the servo saver part is. It looks like there is a spring that goes inside the arm circled in red, is that the saver? I thought it was a spring that went on the part in blue??? Please help me find what I need to buy so I don't blast anymore...

    That's where I'm headed.... I'm wondering if the LHS will cover the servo for me since I had it like 5 hours before it busted up on me... I've spent like $200in his store in the last couple days between chargers, servo, rotostart parts and fuel so here's to hoping.... Thanks again guys!

    I'm not sure I even have a servo saver... do those come stock on the older Savage25's? I have torn the whole truck down and didn't find anything with a spring on it. I looked up the servo saver on the HPI site and my steering is just the plastic steering arms. I am wondering if they all...

    Well it WAS working awesome..... Not really even driving it too hard and stripped one of the gears in the new servo. I'm wondering if I should just get rid of these Big Joe's tires. Do you guys think that is what is causing these servo problems? The guy at the LHS talked me out of the Hitec...

    Awesome spot to spend the day, along with a little money judging from the broken carnage list!

    Works awesome! No more servo problems! I've been running it too hard though, busted the arm on the servo so had to rig up another... but hey, how can you not drive the Savage hard!

    Yeah I had that stock SF-2 and it was totally shredded when I got the truck. I was looking at that hitec 645 that you put up there as I've heard some good things about it from guys who also run the Big Joes.... Thanks a bunch for the help man, I really appreciate it!
