I have a Savox 1258 servo and it's great. A lot of people use them and are happy with them.

Which size and length turnbuckles do you use for the Front camber links that are titanium because. I've bent two of the stock steel ones not really hitting anything .

I've ran the Associated blue turnbuckles before on a T4.1 and liked them .

Default Front shock body (kashima) issue

Hi all,
I recently get a CE kit , never run it (first race this w-e)
straight out of the box, a front kashima shock body seems to be not correctly machined, as the piston doesn't moove freely in the last 1/3 of the body.
I switched the piston+shaft from the other shock but the trouble still there.

Is someone got the same problem ?
May I fix it ? (I doubt it)
Do I have to ask AE send me a new one ?

Contact their customer service, ask for a replacement

I've had high end Orion and Futaba servos go out on me. Last one was the Orion and it went out on the second race night. All of my Savox servos have been reliable.

Does anyone know if the servo spacer ring, the blue anodized ring, is really necessary? Does everyone run one on theirs? It's part 89009, but it seems difficult to source and other than Avid, no one else seems to offer a replacement.

Looks like that is the servo horn support ring? I asked a similar question before and was told it is needed to support the servo horn splines from stripping.

It is in Stock directly from associated

yeah that price range on the Savox was what I was looking to spend. I just got this kit and got back into the hobby after many years away. Its a lot of money all up front for everything so if I don't need to spend 100 bucks on a servo, I'm cool with that. I do have a digital Hitech servo spare, but i'm thinking it might be too large. Is this Savox one a smaller size or does the B5M fit a standard sized one? I'll have to post the model later as I do not remember off hand.

The lower the ball stud, the higher the roll center.

2 inch. Unless you are running an extremely long link, then use a 2.1".

Why wouldn't you reach out to BT or other AE drivers with your questions? Or even...use the search feature in the upper right hand corner?
