I just got this car BUT its the Team C T8 Pro version, its my 1st nitro buggy, so far its been running so good. I just encounter 1 problem, the servo saver always stuck after driving it on the track, I think its because the dirt goes in it. After I clean it the servo saver works as it should, is there anyway to prevent this to happen everytime?

I have no issues with the servo saver...you maye want to check your bearings and make sure nothing is binding when the screws are tight. My servo saver is pretty tight but the spring rate is perfect.

This is hands down an awesome kit...luther has done a fantastic job putting together a complete kit that is really good right out of the box even down to the clutch.

Dameetz, you're gonna love the buggy. It's super quick, nimble, and very durable. There's no way I could now go spend $900 for the Kyosho.

My servo saver became sticky after a while too, until I noticed that it was screwed down too tight. It should be no more than 1-2mm of threads showing above the adjustment collar. Also use some graphite or dry white grease lithium lube, or any dry lube, on the break-loose area. Other petroleum based oils will just attract dirt and cause a bind.

Yes, Todd did get what he asked for and I owe him a call about how it all went with the charity he was going to donate it to.

John really stepped up to make a great thing happen. Instead of the buggy, we decided to do a TQ CORR truck and we are giving it away to a young boy at Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital hear in Nashville. We are waiting for his 10th birthday in July.

TQ sent me the entire RTR truck and I went a purchased the radio batteries and a charger for the truck battery. I hope to get some pics and I will post them.

Sounds good as I will be at the JConcepts race. Will have to check them out. In the market for a buggy and there seems to be a great buzz about the SX8.

Sorry if this is a newbie question, how do you measure ride height and droop (is this droop value like droop over ride height or down stop value at the arm?)? I m really new in offroad, I know in onroad we use ride height block to measure ride height and use the droop block under the chassis and measure the down stop to get a droop over ride height value.....since I m having this car so I just posted my question here after looking at the posted set up above. Also what's the rear inserts value meant ? I mean the toe value if using - or + as well as 0 and 1up and 1 down...
