I would like to upgrade the throttle/brake system on my Savage X. Is there a set available on the market and where can i get it?

The Savage came with a set of 23/24 & 25T servo horns, the most popular size seems to be 25T as your DS3225 25kg servo uses. Airtronics (Sanwa), KO, JR and Multiplex used 23 splines but like Jamo states either get the original 25T savage throttle/brake servo saver or just do an Ofna throttle conversion using the alloy horn you have, a Fastrax FAST94RBK throttle linkage kit, a couple of rod stoppers & a piece of 2mm rod to replace the standard throttle rod. The whole conversion will cost you around £7 and works so much better than the std setup.
The 3 differnent standard horns supplied with the Savage when boughrt new.

Yep those Z-bend pliers really do make quick work of it, and for the cost of a set well worth having in your tool box. Don't know where your based but here in the UK will set you back around £13. May only use them once in a blue moon but your be glad you got a set when that time comes.Gazzman, good stuff! You convinced me that I really need to order z-bend pliers from Amazon.
The ones i use are made by ProLux and I'm sure if you look you will find a set for a similar price state-side, after all every thing to do with RC stuff is so much cheaper than here in the UK.Gazzman, I now see that it's not so easy to find this Z-bender at a reasonable price. The one you have is made by Prolix, right? I found one in the US but the asking price is around $30 plus I am sure a hefty shipping & import charge. Where may I find this thing for 13 quid?
I am actually not that far from where you are.The ones i use are made by ProLux and I'm sure if you look you will find a set for a similar price state-side, after all every thing to do with RC stuff is so much cheaper than here in the UK.
Yer sorry for that, for some reason I thought you were from the States and not Holland. Me Bad.
I just bent my rods by hand using a small vice...how do u make the bend over the transmission?
