Hey guys I have an m05(bought yesterday raced today) and im having servo saver issues. I purchased a hs-625mg servo but after a few races the servo saver decided that I was not to race anymore. I can spin the saver on the metal output of the servo easily with my finger so i grabbed the "extra"
I had but it seems to spin too just not as easily.What have I done wrong.
Please help a rookie.
P.s. I want the RX-7 body above

Grandpa,
Relax bring your mid out next time I am at the track and before days end you will be saying WOW I love the swift setup that swifty put on it. Oh and btw I have a package coming from K&G You should kow what that means. Remember the swift is the over all fastest car at Tamiya and with some TLC you will be even fatser then you are getting now. I spoke to a past champ that will be running at the next Tamiya TCS here in Aliso its gonna be fun.

Here's what's been done to the car. It's been completely rebuilt and nothing is binding. All the bearings have been checked, cleaned and lubed. The shocks were rebuilt with 3 hole pistons, 40 wt oil, 3mm of rebound. Old blues up front, new blues in the back. Aluminum 1.5 degree rear hubs and the link is in the upper hole. 2 degrees of rear camber. 5mm ride ht and the car is level. TA03 ball diff replaced the M05 diff that was in the car. Also the light rear sway bar cause it really was a beast without it. In this form the car is drivable and, if driven with care, will keep up with most.
Here's what's wrong with it. The hairpin after the sweeper is really tricky cause it steps out on a wide entry and pushes like a dump truck if you come in tighter. It steps out on entry in the carousel and the keyhole and scrubs off speed and just doesn't roll thru the corner cleanly. The esses and the kink can get the back end waving around so it's hard to get thru them cleanly.
Let me know if you want any changes. I'm planning on going back to the stock 2 degree rear hubs. Apologies to those that don't know what the corners look like that I was referring to.
Thanks Calvin & jcr.
I didn't set the car up I had one of the regular guys at racing do it for me as there was only like 20hrs till racing. Now I just gotta find the right parts
Oh and I need to get a radio and receiver for it.

The Kimbrough medium servo saver is a quick, simple and cheap way to do it.... cheaper than the Tamiya high torque one.
