Also not convinced that a 1/8 servo saver fully tightened won't still allow some play in the harshest landings/crashes. I tend to run my savers a bit on the tight side as well.
When I mentioned earlier that we aren't running servo savers in our 8th scales, I meant we're running our optional crank that is a solid piece. It's the one in the middle as opposed to the 2 piece saver next to it. The only save the servo could see is when the plastic parts flex.
