Just glue the servo saver down , the plastic bends and will still work just like a saver..

I have mine glued down but the rack is really sloppy. Oh well I just have to accept it.

This isn't true, my buddy stripped his Savox 1258TG servo in his SC10 4x4. However, he crashes pretty often...

That's precisely why I asked. I'm running a 1267SG that I don't want to do any damage to.

A little slop is not so bad , in fact if you took all the slop out of the rack ?

Would only make the car feel more darty & harder to drive..

Yes, but unless you're a lot worse than a typical sportsman driver with an overpowered 4x4 SC truck and can't make a lap without hitting something, I don't think you have anything to worry about. I've been running mine glued on both my B4 and SC10 with no ill effects, yet.

I see. One of our fast Kyosho drivers drove my car last night and said it was "delightful". So I guess even with all of the built in slop our cars have, it feels pretty much the same as his RB5 WC.

the main thing its for is that less flex gives a more direct steering. and with a glued servo saver the pieces like to break when you clip a pipe too hah
I don't...

I should have said today's quality servos. And since when was I talking about a shortcourse truck?? I have never touched one of those buckets!! You should also know better!

I would consider myself average. That being said, I did break a glued rack landing off-axis on one of the larger jumps (pretty big quad) at a local track.

Bottom line on all b4/t4 sc10's if your not using a glued steering rack you are not getting proper performance Period! It's a must do! If you still crash a lot, then I'd say u better hold off for a moment lol.

The racks will break often when glued if you wreck the right way. Which is precisely why the team is using the all 1 piece alum rack if they can find them. I got a couple of them, and they are great!

I never drove anything like it.

Even in the hands of a baddie like me, it goes where it's supposed to.


Oh hey Cherry,wanted to ask... how much does the cold affect your shock oil decision (if at all). Was at a track that had ambient air temp prolly in the mid 50's and was thinking I should go 5wt lighter all the way around. Then again I just said eff it and wheeled it

Other than two posts before me, is the glued servo saver or the aluminum steering rack a big difference? and what do you mean by glueing the servo saver?

I dont feel it but the front end is kinda worn on my car no to bad, but theres nice space between arms, hubs etc. Losi guy told me it hurts coming out of the corner and it might wander... REALLY? I would like to replace my front end and try but I dont wanna ruin it. Still need to get carbon arms tho
