I just tried mounting the receiver again but the bit jutting out from the top deck is in the way, and Im not a fan of modding carbon fibre

Same story but I been in Australia for 11.

I figured out why my receiver wont fit, I mounted my servo about 5mm back, so that it would work as it wasnt one of the recomended servos. I found that with my HS56 the ballcup was actualy knocking into the servo so I moved the mounting blocked infront of the tabs to push it back rather than behind them

Cool bud

I am running the Airtronics 94091z servo with normal tabs and I know a lot of guys here runs theirs with Hitec HS-65MG servo's. I've been struggling to find a servo saver that is rock solid and have come across the XRay M18 saver which is amazing. So much so that I have ordered 3 of them for my other cars as well.

Yeah my Exotek came with the Xray servo saver..... I need to get a digital servo for my car, preferably one thats recomended for the kit, I just got a Fasst system for my 3PK and I really like using HRS mode for when I race my B4 but HRS wont work with analogue servos.

Which one you recomend? I dont wanna spend more than 50us

Killer tr7ucks guys! I had a question about the Xray servo saver... I am assuming you are talking about the M18T servo saver ( part #XRA382500 ) and if so, will it work with the regular RC18's?

Yeah thats it I think, It will work but you have to slide it over the stock one, thats what you do in the Exotek if your not using the recomended servo's.

Shit! I was just driving it around for the first time ever, steering was absolute bull, need to replace all ballcups, but other than that I lost a screw, a nut, and the little gold cone, and those 3 parts hold one of the turnbuckles to the steering rack. NOT a good start

what happend with your steering?
mine works AWESOME, it was just tight, and i had to loosen it up.. but that has nothing to do with exotek, its the associated ballcups on mine that were too tight.

Well Im sick of working on it now, but my ballcups are too loose and the steering wont return to centre. I need to replace them. I also lost the screws to hold the left turnbuckle to the steering rack. And my quark is giving me the shits right now too, it acting like Im running a 3 cell lipo, so it wont let me drive with my 6 cell, and I just programmed out of it, put a fresh pack on, reved the car for 6 seconds and its doing the same thing.

Sounds like a bad servo if there is no binding ?
