Antisquat will change the characteristics of the truck under acceleration and under braking. It can also effect the way the truck jumps. Sometimes what the change should do on paper seems to be opposite on the track so your best bet is to change it in small increments and do back to back tests.

That should be measured to chassis, if you measure that distance to your skidz your truck will be riding high. Some say they can't tell a difference but I always did so I just never run skidz. It's a personal preference kinda thing, if you set it up and the truck drives good for you then go with it.

Update: So I was advised to grind down the chassis guard which is what I did. I raced on Saturday with a 7955. I put about an hour of run time on the 7955 and no problems. I went out to run a few tanks tonight and the 7955 went bad. I decided to put in my 7940 that I got back from Hitec. I had a buddy watch the whole install just to make sure I was doing it right and not going crazy. He agreed with the majority of the installation process that I have (he had a couple of his own preferences). We went out on the track and another servo out. This makes 5 servos back to back in 4 weeks.

The only thing I can think of at this point is that the Spectrum 3100 receiver is burning out servos only on the throttle port of the 3100. Is this even possible?

are you running alot of break?...or maybe your pulling too much brake in front or rear and dont realize it...thus its stressing your servo out;)

I would have to guess chassis. Maybe your chassis has worn too much.

No deadman. I wish I could make the brakes a little stronger, but I've been so afraid to stress out the servo that I've backed off from my usual settings.

what does your carb feel like when you manually work the throttle or the Slide on the carb ? Post pics of your linkages please.

Hey guys got a question, has any one used the foam dampers on the shocks? What are the added benefits to them? Any preferred surfaces that they are best on? Also dumb question how are they installed? Thanks guys!!!

I thought the same thing too, but then thought the chassis would flex in the opposite direction from the servo? I will say that when I threw a straight edge on the chassis last week, it is warped a bit. To be a little more specific...when I place a straight edge on the bottom from end to end, there is a gap of less than 1/16" in the middle.

It's all good Integra. I'll take a pic now and post it.

Man that looks good to me. Linkage is straight and the servo looks good. Try pulling on the throttle linkage on the other side of the horn. Is it smooth or does it feel like it binds. You should be able to move it about 70-80% without the horn moving. It should feel free and slide easy.

By sheer visual it looks all good, 1 screw is a little tight from the looks of the rubber grommets. The Nova carbs are normally bind free But what about when you get some heat in the motor ? still smooth ?

Angles from the top look good, What about the angle its pulling at ?

:facepalm: The problem is when you pull the throttle and chassis flexes, it stresses the servo and leads to failure. Your servo pull should be less than the full travel of the carb barrell to allow the chassis to flex and not stress the servo.

I haven't blown a throttle servo in my Losi's in over 3 years setting them up this way.
