It has very sharp edges that work and score the plastic and even the alum nut on the servo saver. Take a rough stone grind tip for your dremel and round and soften the edges of the spring. I rounded the ends of mine to almost a ball and they will wear much better on the plastic and alum surfaces. I followed this up with Traxxas lithium grease on both ends of the spring and it will stay good and consistant for at least a month of racing before you need to clean and reassemble.
The servo saver is the weakest link on the 8ight. They need to fix it to be like the Kyosho or new Xray 808 servo saver. I have emailed them about this to no avail. It is simply not designed correctly for the vertical movement required to make it work right. This is where most of the slop comes from in the Ackermann arm. When the saver flexes it twist the joints and the arm.
Next stop is the gearing and front end.
Worlds are this year!
Come on Losi! Get it in gear!
