    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...

    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!

    New guy with some steering troubles....

    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...

    New guy with some steering troubles....

    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...

    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!

    New guy with some steering troubles....

    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!

    New guy with some steering troubles....

    It just had the stock servo and it is shredded! I took the cap off and it is just plastic chunks in there.... I assume with bigger tires comes the bigger need for more torque from the servo... ya know, with great power comes great responsibility?! haha

    Man, all very awesome trucks! Good to hear you got them broken in, trucks don't like being all clean and pretty permanantly! HAHA

    New guy with some steering troubles....

    Hey thanks a bunch man, that's really helpful info! I am running Big Joes tires and I am thinking I'll need a more powerful servo. Anybody recommend a certain servo for this setup? I haven't even got to drive this truck yet!!! What would you get if you were me????

    New guy with some steering troubles....

    thanks guys, I actually pulled out the servo and took it apart... it looked like a "will it blend" video... so time to upgrade the servo I suppose. I have just been looking to see the pos/neg of going digital or another analog but I'm definitely not going with another stock HPI one...

    New guy with some steering troubles....

    yeah, I can move it all by hand and it moves smooth... how do I check on the servo saver? I'm not sure what part that is.... I just pulled out the servo and I'm gonna take a look at the inside and see if anything in there looks out of place. I'm just not sure what all to look for.
