Tamiya TRF416 / TRF416WE / TRF416X

54121 is Tamiya's version of the blue servo saver arm. It's fairly new.
For those of you bending the aluminum ball studs, why not use 53969 and 53968? They're black instead of pretty blue, but a lot stronger.
I sure wish this servo saver was a little better. It's got a pin that goes through the pieces to make it solid, but the pin is thin, so it will break on impact and allow the spring action of the saver to kick in. The pin broke VERY easily, though, and ended up being more of a hassle than it was worth.
Would a stronger spring in a Kimbrough help? I've noticed it feels a lot less precise than the harder savers (like the Tamiya), but definitely keeps its center better.

I just received my Square alum servo saver TGE 22TB that I ordered from RCmarket. I hope this will work well. Somebody mention Kimbrough and robinson having a better servo saver for tamiya, can you post the pics or link for that? I might try those if the Square one having the slacking issue too.

Ok I have a few Q for the guys that race the 416, a friend just bought a 416 and drove it for one weekend and broke four chub by just taping the boards and now he have a hard time getting parts in the USA and he want to sell it to me but my Q is where do you get the part for this car and what parts should I keep on hand? is there another chub I could use instead of the one that come with the kit? are the arms the same as the chubs easy to break?
any help will be appreciated.
any help will be appreciated.
As others have mentioned, best bet for parts would be to get hold of the TA05 short arm conversion kit, as it contains a spare of everything you need, apart from dogbones (TAM54083).

That's a good combo Craig. That's what I'm running and it's been working well.

If you cant source the stuff from the US, the HK (rc-market/mart/mushroom/model) stores always have stock, they deal in your currency (bastards), and shipping is cheap
