No, the servo horn is connected to a link which is connected to the servo saver... Make sense? The servo saver is what's breaking. Part 340007

Which one? There are 3 parts with that number. I guess you mean the top one on the servo saver side? BTW, did you set your end points on the throttle servo??

You mean steering servo? Yes I did set the endpoints. And it's the piece where the link connects the servo horn to the servo saver. When you installed it, it's the piece where the servo saver spring sits into. It's hard to explain this over the computer sorry!

Maybe you could shave off a little material from the steering plate? I am sure it is plenty strong. Just an idea. I have another idea that is more complicated and requires you to put spacers under the entire servo subassembly to raise it up a bit . . .

I tried moving my servo down as far as I can but its not fixing the issue as it still scrubs it a little. When I move the wheels with the servo disconnected, it doesn't move as freely as my other cars do. Could this affect the servo saver? because otherwise idk what to do.

I'm running a JR9100s.

Please, any suggestions

Yup.. I lightly sanded / dremeled part of my servo case and a bit of the servo saver that was making contact. I think the JR9100s are a tiny bit thicker that other servos.
