I don't get why you wouldn't use rubber gromets

Less weight. :p jk jk yeah idk why either. there is no disadvantage to running them.

When I fitted the rubber grommets I noticed the servo had too much side movement,especially on steering.

I needed to do up the 4 servo screws fairly tight.Main reason would be the servo saver has been done up tight and no longer works as a saver.

I could not see the rubber grommets being beneficial as the rubber is hard and virtually does no dampening and only creates around 2-3 mm side movement.

Use the Grommet's....They are Included for a REASON. :nod:

No grommets for me. I've never used them. Probably not the right way to do it, but I haven't had a servo failure for years so I'll keep doing it the wrong way.:lol:

you should try em!...:sneaky:.....hey i was wondering:confused:....do you guys set ride height with a FULL tank of gas or like 3/4 full?...cause you only run a FULL tank during a race for about 3-4 laps PER fill up....so that would mean your ride height will rise as the race goes on....

you should never lock down the servo saver to the point where it doesn't give. That kills servos. The grommets give a little, but the small amount makes a huge difference in cushioning the servo.

Servo saver springs do wear out, along with the entire bellcrank assembly. If you find that you need to lock down the servo saver to get sufficient steering, you should consider replacing the assembly. In addition, setup changes are prob worth investigating.

Most of the guys I talk to at the track lock down the saver.
I do run a 480oz around 32kg torque servo.
My saver has been locked down since day one from new.

btw: I really appreciate your help, this is how a hobby should be!

Are you sure that you loosened the hex set screw that holds the pin in?

diff oils
 
I have been using this combo for diff oils but would like to try something different for centre.
Current 7000wt in front,10000wt in centre and 2000wt in rear
If I keep the front and rear the same what other choices for centre oil 7000,5000wt ?

i tried 7/7/3 and worked well in my 1.0. i would assume would be close to same in the 2.0?

RustyOne 11-18-2010 06:19 PM

What would i notice going from the 10000wt the 7000wt
