Yes.

so what does it do?
so back to my original question... is the servos or the savers that a shit on the steering???

The stock servo savers are weak.

so get a nother spring for them? is that what is needed?
nice video to love the track.. can you take sum photos of it, or draw it out and put on a file with straigh length would love to create similar here

2DMAX, how'd you shave 3 lbs. off that LST, the carbon kit, but what else? Nice lookin racer, I wan't one just like it!

has anyone gotten rid of the second sterring servo? or replaced both with one high torque one?

the reason i ask is i had one servo give out, and in a move of desperation, had to run with only one servo.

to my amazement, the truck steered great...in fact better than ever. i had to turn the steering rate down.

so yeah.... theres my Question.

thanks for your help.

i might try that i think. seems like ot worked for you.. just the one servo?

that might explain the reason for the other servo going out,if one is binding it will fail.

i ran 2 5945 hitecs in mine and ran an extra servo spring on it i never had issues with it turning or anything i could out turn revos going into the corner.

the only issue i ever saw was the bailing wire drag link broke on a racers truck,he switched to the BAC kit and proceeded to bend the piss out of it.
not saying its good or bad just that is what i saw and i never needed more steering with those two servos.

my buddy ran 2 of the Ti 333oz servos with an extra ring on each with the stock set up and to this day it is still working perfectly.

i had one servo fail. there was no binding at all.

with just the one servo running, it worked great!! better than new!! had me a little puzzled so i was wondering if anyone else did this, or if anyone had ditched em both and gone a good high torque unit instead and if it was successful.

i thought i may pull out both and get a real good one.

I would have to see pictures of a V2 bent BAC link. It's hardened steel and would break before it would bend. It does flex under extreme stress. Beyond that BAC replaces any damaged link without questions. I've been running the BAC V2 link since before it was available with dual Airtronics 94358's, alum bellcranks with associated servo savers, or the stockers with a additional spring added.

You can see the BAC link and Integy alum bellcranks here.


In general all Integy parts are junk. I buy the cheapest version of their bellcranks, throw the bushings away and install new avidrc.com bearings, use a single pass with a 3/32 drill but to accomidate the BAC link and I have bullet proof steering. The BAC link is stronger than the stock bellcranks.

I snagged this picture when this layout was being built... I got TQ and won the race here Friday night...

I think I like Austins layout better...I got second there Saturday night. Austin is one of the funnest places to race....good food, good music, good people, killer layout with massive elevation changes. The race announcer/director has a wireless mic and will be talking to the crowd while using a firehose on the track.
Poorly done stich photo I took of the NCRC track in Austin

Here's a pic of my local track.

Before and after the rain.

Race was cancelled due to rain. Only rained for 20 minutes yesterday!!!

I like that shot of all the R/C lined up!! That sucks about getting rained out!!

DAMN!!!!!

that must have been some rain

nice track though

i finally fixed my steering problem ahaha, suprise suprise it was the radio, the factory must have turned the steering down to 40% so i cranked it gee, it is such a different truck now no need for bigger better servos now
i reckon ya should check all the others out there..
even the e.p.a was just under half way
