That saver comes with 3 different servo inserts so it should bolt right up.


I had a chance to today to take it to our local carpet track (36x80, pretty technical in the infield). I put a 2200 2S Lipo in the truck and everything else is stock except for a Spektrum RX. This thing rips! handling even with the stock tires is really good. It will traction roll if you push it too hard, but it will surprise you. Speed is good (especially with the Lipo) and run time seems like forever. After the first pack, I swapped out the stock SC tires for some regular RC18R rubber tires on white rims. I cleaned and doped them with Jack the Gripper and this helped handling even more. Even the LHS owner was surprised at how well the steering system worked over the previous system. Another new SC18 owner showed up and we ran for several laps on the carpet track and he was as shocked as I was at how well the stock tires worked. I swapped the stock body back and its a great look with the R tires. If you are looking for something that will run great out of the box, the SC18 is a great buy. I see Associated selling a BUNCH of these for spec racing.
