1/12 forum
SRG-HR sanwa servo anybody got pictures of how they are mounting them? I use the big servo saver and I'm not sure I could do that with this servo. thinking of getting a graphite spacer made up for it.

Dirla, I am running the X-ray saver on mine. Got it shimmed down as close to the chassis, but still "floats" on my X1218. I can get a pic later, I am at work at the moment.
I have an Xray pan car servo saver in my 1/12, and the coil spring that it used is terrible and the car would lose the trim with anything but the lightest bump. I had to tear apart another Xray medium(?) servo saver for touring car and swap the band-spring into the pan car servo saver plastic. After that it worked great... but it means I think I have $35 wrapped up in a servo saver.

That was not the case this time. I could move the plastic relative to the spring and it stayed there. After I swapped the coil spring for the band type spring, it fixed it.

I don't think your was built correctly then, there are no coil springs in a X-ray Servo Saver, it comes with 3 band springs for the stiff version, 4 band springs for the x-stiff. There was a old version that "may" have had a spring, but was not one you assembled, it was more like a Kimbrough, but haven't seen one of those in years.

He is using the Xray PanCar Servo saver and not the larger TC hard or X Hard saver.
The PanCar version is smaller, but the spring is rather rubbish.
I like the Kimbrough smaller version. Allows for flatter steering links. Have not had issues in stock or mod. You do have to ream the holes to fit the m3 ball ends, and trim the saver body so the cups don’t hit...but hey, this is 12th scale.

Buggy Grip, but it may be too gummy on a track that uses corn syrup for traction aid. It works well on synthetic traction additives or crystal sugar, but it can pick up schmoo from syrup.
