well i was outside running my t maxx and everything is going good. i was jumping my ditches in the front yard and sometimes the front of the truck would hit the face of the ditch. well then my steering started acting up. i could only turn to the right. so i drove it some more trying to run the fuel out, and it wont steer. i can hear a high pitch whinning noise just like last time the exact same thing happened a few months ago. im sure the gears inside are all broke and stripped! its a traxxas 2075 servo. instead of getting another, again, im going to get the savox sc-0251 222oz-in of torque metal gear servo!!!!!!!! the traxxas 2075 is a good throttle/brake servo, but for steering the big wheels on a t maxx and my truck weighing in at 14lbs. it cant handle it!

this one may be better

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Savox-SC1256...item5ae640c312

this has more torque and speed and doesnt have metal gears it has titanium gears which are stronger so this will work better and last A LOT longer

hope this helps even though there wasnt really a question

yea that one is really nice! just way out of my price range. for $40.00 shipped the 222oz-in savox is a big improvement over the traxxas 125oz-in plastic gears!

rcduder

yah that makes sense then i wasnt sure of your price range i just wanted to through that out there as well

actually i just looked on here in the for sale threads and found a couple savox servo's. i believe one was the one you mentioned. the guy has 2 of them slightly used for $40.00 each obo. and has one nib for $50.00 obo.

rcduder

thats actually a really good deal i would hop on it if i was you but its your choice ive been wanting to try savox really bad i have been running spektrum which is essentially the same (case and specs wise) but there is some differences in companies as far as i know

yea i think he sold the 2 used ones but i think he still has the new one for $50.00. the only problem is i wont have the $$$$$ until may 2nd when i get a check.

I don't know if you have the older version of the tmaxx or not, but if you do, you should upgrade to the newer style 3.3 servo saver design. Much better, much tighter.

i have the 4908 extended chasis model. actually, im not even running a servo saver. thats probably why i keep stripping my servo.

rcduder

yeah that is probably exactly why you keep stripping it the servo saver helps the servo not to flex to far over from its stopping point, which is why when there is to much force (after landing on the front end of the car off a jump while wheels are turned or if your car flips and yanks the front wheels one way) the servo saver flexes taking the stress off the servo you could still break any servo (some may be harder then others) depending on how hard you hit, you should install a servo saver and this will make any servo last longer

yea i been meaning to get one. its weird because i got the truck on a trade almost brand new and when i upgraded the servo to the 2075 it didnt have a servo saver. but when i get the savox, im going to put one on.

How don't you have a servo saver? Is it just like a original one from the older maxx trucks?

When you get a new servo saver, buy two new tmaxx ones and put the part with the spring on each side. It takes a lot of wobble out of the steering.
