For best durability and consistency get the aluminum servo horn as soon as you can. Then get the upper saver piece when it's convenient.
I actually currently have the alum horn. I was looking at the servo saver as my next item. But was confused as to where it went. I was under the impression that the servo saver replaced the horn. But I couldnt figure out how it worked. Now that I see its a separate piece, I understand.

Thanks again.

I have been using the King Headz rear hub carriers for over a year, there strong and hold up well. I had to replace 1 bearing since I have been using them. The reason for the replacement, Silverstate Race, Las Vegas Nevada, need I say more. The capital bearing killer in the USA.

I have an emergency question for a race tomorow! Other than the tires, what suspension and setup wise can I change on my kit to help with a track that is REALLY hard packed clay, practically like smooth cement! Never tackled this track type before, and need some advice. So, other than tires, (not an option right now) how can I change my suspension to help with a really slick cement-like suspension!? Looking for some more turning traction mostly. Thanks, anyone!!

i would try running heavier oils, say 40-50 wt rear and maybe 40wt front, heavier springs.. 2,3mm front sway bar and a 2.7mm rear... try that

Unless I read his post wrong, he said it's slick. Go heavier on a lot of that stuff is not going to help his traction. Normally, for high traction, I would agree with you, but I am under the impression it's not high traction.

having heavier front oil will put more weight on the front tyres under breaking giving it more traction... correct??

Negative on that one. Thicker oil will harden the dampening. Same as to going to less holes or smaller holes in the pistons. This will decrease steering under low grip situations. Google the hudy offroad setup book for further explanation.

I notice that one of the rear wheels on my 8t has a pretty severe wobble to it. I thought initially it would be a wheel balance issue. But the wobble is present even when spinning the wheel by hand.

Any ideas what to check?
