The end points were always set on my Cougar before I used it, yet I still broke the servo gears on certain hits or crashes.
Almost NO one else breaks the servo gears on their Cougar... I'm thinking the low profile servo is weaker and is why I kept breaking the gears.
I would agree that the servo horn should strip before the gears breaking... but it NEVER did when I had the low profile servo.
Just saying... it wasn't due to USER error as you are implying.

. Also a plastic servo horn should be used in that case. cheaper to replace those.

Never felt the need of any servo saver in all sorts of trucks I run. and when a truck has a servo saver I tighten it as much as I can.
Even in my SC10 4x4 I tighten the servosaver to a lockup.
you want fast and responsive steering, and a servosaver takes away a bit of that fast and responsive steering. that is my thought about a servosaver.
best servo saver is a plastic servo horn

Sorry.. if I have upset you. I also run low profile savox servos. and others like the Ace ds1015

BTW. I was running the stock plastic servo horn, not an aluminum one.
And I agree with you about not running a servo saver is better for responsive steering.
I didn't want a servo saver either... for those exact same reason you just mentioned... but when it breaks 5 times on you... you don't really have a choice but to add a servo saver now do you?

Don't worry about it... I wasn't upset... just trying to say that I knew all that already. lol But I'm sure it was good info for others.

Somebody help me out here.. it was my understanding that 3gear/Rear motor makes the spin of the motor put energy downward, improving rear traction on throttle... so why does TD say that 4gear/Rear motor is for very low traction? wouldn't it reduce rear traction on throttle, or is something backwards in my understanding?

no matter what you do all the centrifugal mass is centered in the same place. There really is no advantage either way in my opinion.

A motor turning at 20,000+ rpms. ya it matters which way its turning. Xfactory has been using 4 gear tranny for a few years now.
