Servo Saver.

[HopIt]

I can't really find what I'm looking for by searching, so I need some opinions.
I have been running a Hot Racing ally servo saver for some time, but now it's worn quite a bit and I want to replace it. Should I get another ally one or go back to stock or what ?
What are your preferences ?? Anyone know of the ultimate servo saver ? Oh, and it will need a strong spring because of the CEN GSTs I run.

The one that comes stock on the X's is very good probably one of the best. They fit onto a 21/25 very easily and very cheap to do so.

Is it adjustable ?

It is spring loaded http://www.hpieurope.com/piw.php?lang=en&partNo=87197

All you need is 1-HPI# 85058 ~$11, 1-HPI# 86319 ~$8, possably 2 HPI# Z282 screws. Whall your in there you just as well replace the bushings with bearings which are 6mm X 10mm X 3mm make sure to get rubber sealed ones.

So for roughly $24 you could have a great servo saver and remove some play. There is a kit for all of this somewhare which is cheaper but I couldn't find it.

Yea, it looks exactley the same as the stock one that came with my S-25.

 

[Larsenracing]

Thats the one that came on your 25, huh? Your truck didn't come with the servo saver that attached to the splines on the servo?

I thought you probably had one on truck...here is the brand I have always had good luck with. http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/WTI0095P?FVSEARCH=servo+saver

Nope, only ever had the cam type servo saver.

Sweet. Whay did you go away from that one. Most people swair by them and switch to them if they have the old style. You must have been one of the lucky few.

Always looking for the ultimate Hop Up !!

I think I'm going to go back to the stock servo saver, with the exception of the FLM steering drag link that I need to fit round the FLM bulkheads. I didn't really give a fair chance before. I just love to HopIt up !

I use the stock X steering with the bearing upgrade, stronger servo. On Blasties with Goliath tires. Steering is a dream compared to stock. Peace.

 

[HopIt]

Thanks for your recommendation groovethumper, I'm set on the stock idea now.

Ahh ha! I thought stock was best but wasn't sure. Funny on how some stock things are still the best way to go even with all the after market products that are available.
