    Brakes are giving throttle

    Lol it still isn't a servo saver despite being called that. And it should move freely, the opposite of what you want a servo saver to do. It also only moves in one 90 degree arc of the servo arm when installed, not both ways like a servo saver, and you want it to move smoothly with minimal...

    Brakes are giving throttle

    You're right it does say steering crank/servo saver. Odd.

    Brakes are giving throttle

    It's a carb saver, not a servo saver. Yes it has a spring, yes it goes on the servo arm. However it's actually just letting the linkage work, not protecting the servo. Call it whatever you want I guess, but the action should be smooth, not stiff. Otherwise as I found out the throttle/brake...

    Brakes are giving throttle

    What the heck are you talking about. No it is not a servo saver. It isn't "saving" anything. I know it looks a little bit like a servo saver, but think about it, what kind of shock is going to get to your servo through the throttle and brakes to need a servo saver? Also think about how the...

    Brakes are giving throttle

    That isn't what that spring does. It just lets the throttle servo hit the brakes, then when you release it bounces back so the brakes won't stick. How do you not know this? Why would you need a servo saver on a throttle brake servo?

    Brakes are giving throttle

    That wasn't the servo saver. Its the servo horn which attaches to throttle brake linkage, two parts separated by a ring shaped spring that allows the throttle servo to work the brakes without putting pressure on the carb when it slides past below idle.. We were talking about throttle/break not...

    REVIEW: HPI Safety Engine Stop System (Part number 85068)

    I've been using the top of my shoe on the exhaust tip to stop the truck but I just ordered the safety stop :). Yeah I'm waking up zombie threads all over this forum haha.

    Brakes are giving throttle

    I want to say, why should we need a strong servo for throttle and brakes, but this weekend I was having a problem with my throttle and brakes and standard 3003. I think the problem was a combo of the servo arm assembly with the spring in between was binding, and the screw holding it on top was...

    New to RC / Savage XS - what parts / maintenance do I need??

    Diff fluid still seems weird to me. I'm not new to RC but I am new to modern RCs I guess. In my day diffs just got silicon grease and you didn't worry about it again. And there were no center diffs, hehe.

    Photos of Scarlett after doing some wrenching this weekend

    I installed my extra plastic roll cage piece after scratching the engine head the first few times but I guess yours is the more elegant solution. I don't supposed you bash that baby too hard though.

    Stock SS shocks (8 shock setup)

    Huh that's weird I just built an SS kit and mine doesn't come with any o rings that go there on the outside? Looks like the red o rings that go up and sit on the inside of the shock cap though.

    Novak Closing down

    Sucks. Glad I got a chance to buy one of their (entry level) speed controllers back in the day, always oggled over them in RC Car Action in the 80s. Still have the bright Orange, brushed, forward only thing.

    Good differential replacement

    Does adding a middle diff to the Savage mainly keep it from doing wheelies as much? How else does it effect handling and traction?
