Tons of steering, stable and carries great corner speed. Our track is very bumpy too and it eats the bumps up!!

It seems that the spine insert is pushing the saver to far to the linkage side. Also becasue the servo saver is so far to that side, the linkage is creating an angle where there is a very slight amount of binding. If I was able to move the servo saver back a little then all would be perfect.

Any options here? Perhaps a different servo saver?

If anyone is facing the same problem he can try this.


"I use a normal sized ERG-VZ on my electric cars. When I installed the new servo saver on, I found out that when i was tightening the servo screw the whole steering system was binding and when I undid it half a turn the steering linkage would free up. It wasn't long before I noticed that the plastic adapter's hole (K in my case) is too deep and it touches the servo body. So when you tighten the screw, it rubs against the servo body and binds the steering linkage. I got hold of a few 3x5 shims (unfortunately the common 3x6 don't fit) and placed them between the servo shaft and the plastic servo adapter.

So if you are facing problems with your sanwa servo (or any other servo), don't install the plastic shim that is shown on top of page 14 of the manual, (you don't need it) but instead use a few of these shims (I used 0.3mm in total) to set the proper top deck clearance and have a free moving steering linkage.

Probably this has something to do with some drivers experiencing inconsistent steering, or the car not tracking straight, with the new servo saver."

Hope this helps.

I don't want to them up.

I am not using any shims on the servo posts, the ears are mounted in front of the servo posts and adding any would make the issue worse.

The steering is not binding becasue of the saver being to close to the servo i.e. rubbing on the servo iteself. There is enought space there to prevent this.

Basically, it seems that the distance from the ears to the beginning of the spline on the 1257 is a bit long, meaning that without any shims anywhere, it is about touching the top deck on the linkage side.

If the lip of the servo adapters (K,H,F) was a little thinner, then things would work out.

I saw that the XII has a similar servo saver, but it appears from pics that the adapter it uses has a slightly thinner lip, not sure though as the pics from xray's site are not that clear.
