Oh NO Not the great servo debate round 3.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

people like you are the reason RCtech is so stupid.

They claim to use 1/5 the power of todays servos Thats AWSOME news for your RX batts..

Im going to order the 9380th just to see how good it really is.
I really like Savox they have served me well But im aways open to try somthing new..

No rush but do want them by Dec think the first race of next year is in Jan. Do you know a release date on the new ones. Not trying to start any arguments on brand names.

Unfortunately there has been some Supply issues with the Motor's being used in these new bad boys and Unfortunately there's nothing that Hitec can do about it as its Not them with the supply issue but rather the motor Manufacturer who's having the issues.

Haha this is te first I time I have been called stupid on RCtech. :ha: I give MHOP on subjects. I thought it could be user related so I stated it. Yes I could have asked how old they were when they failed and what not but I didn't. So sue me. He later came back and replied why they failed witch some hitec servos have had issues on.

You come here and make silly posts like that, and have the nerve to call me stupid. :ha:

I had some questions about the aluminum servo saver.

I have seen several people recommend it. But I am having problems understand how it works different than just a regular alum servo horn. My understanding is, the saver is supposed to slip a bit when the wheels take a sudden jar. But given the picture I have seen, it doesn't look like that would be possible.

LOSA4441 Servo Saver Top, Aluminum: 8B/8T (cant post links yet)

So that is the part I am looking at. Is there a piece of it that I am missing?

All that being said, is the servo saver necessary? Again, I have seen a lot of people recommending them. But on the vehicles for sale, I have yet to see one installed, or even the item for sale on its own.

You are correct the servo saver is designed to have give if the wheels take a hit.

But I believe the you are mistaking the servo horn, te piece on the servo, with the servo saver arm, attached to the bellcrank unit.

The stock plastic servo savers has a chance to break. The alm ones are the exact same shape and function as the plastic only a stronger material. I have never broke a plastic one but I do choose to run the alm.

The alum servo horn and servo saver is good because it wont break. Plastic will.

I should probably be clear about what I have. My car is the RTR version. So it came pre-assembled, and I don't have experience with all the vehicle's parts yet.

I guess I assumed the saver piece attached on the actual servo in place of the servo horn. If that is not the case, where in the steering assembly does it sit?

I just looked at the race roller manual and found my answer. The servo saver is underneath the rest of the steering assembly.

Thanks for the help.

Over time, the aluminum upper servo saver will remain in better shape than plastic upper. Plastic on plastic will become gritty and reduce the saver action.

Since we set the servo saver tight to have good steering, the plastic servo horn will break. But if the saver is set looser than the manual suggestion the truck will loose steering slightly.

For best durability and consistency get the aluminum servo horn as soon as you can. Then get the upper saver piece when it's convenient.

Integy Alum Rear Hubs.?.
 

Is anyone here using the Integy rear alum hubs.?
The price is right.
does another aftermarket company make better ones with larger bearings.?.

King Headz makes a better one with larger 8x16 out bearing, there not cheap, Amain sells them for about 65 bucks.

I tried them years ago for the the RC8T and there alm felt like it was more fragile then plastic. Very low grade alm is used in them. They did hold up but I only ran em for about 2 months. Then the truck was sold.
