Is it even needed. with all 3 springs it seems almost solid. Im sure something else will give out before can do its 'saving' job ?? (did on my M03, ripped out ball connector)

I hate to ask about servos here again, but Is a Futaba 3003 good enough??
I'd rather used my spare Spektrum(JR??) servo, but none of the Tamiya servo parts fit its spline- any ideas on how to use a Spektrum servo ??
cheers
You use all 3 spring clips otherwise the steering will wander under load. 2 gold on the inside and the black on the outside. It is supposed to be near solid. It is designed as a "servo saver" . It saves the servo gears from being stripped when under extreme load (a crash or hit)
