I end up adjusting the servo saver. HOPEFULLY, it should be fine now. In all honestly, i do not think i will ever buy a RTR kit again. I enjoy putting my kits together and I am confident everything is built with a lot of TLC. I built my MBX6 with a lot of TLC and I have not broke not ONE part on it. And I have been racing it for about 4 to 5 months, almost every weekend now.

By the sounds of it a bunch of people broke either savers or servos at Motorama on the 2.0's. I wonder how many were due to not checking it out first to make sure it was working properly? I'm thinking it was probably due to cold temps and the saver being too tight. After I loosened mine almost 2 turns from stock it started working great. It's just as smooth as can be now. I always run the losi aluminum servo horns and I might pick up the losi aluminum servo saver top as well. But I'm going to give it a shot like it is for now.
