You might want to shoegoo them in. Weights tend to fly around the inside of your car if they are just velcroed in.

I had one of my weights from the rear triangles shoot into the servo compartment. I thought I was glitching but it turned out to be a wedged weight in my servo compartment intermittently causing my servo to lock up.

Nope servo was fine. I believe this has happened twice now though. Those Savox servos are beasts.

With the 8m ?

Carbon arms , rear U-brace , nose plate ft arm brace will be the ticket , as the 8m has more traction than the standard chassis ....


The carbon U brace by it self is a small change compared between the plastic U , if you are having traction issues try a lower ride height , ck your slipper and tires first before switching ....
Thanks for the feedback. I'll try the stock brace next time I'm at the track but I've been running on what I could call high traction (CRCRC & RC Factory). There is just something wrong with the car, I can make big swings at the setup and it just doesn't change much. Example went from zero washers to 3 under rear link Saturday just to try to feel a major change. It's twitchy and loose; the front end will never release coming on power. I'm going through the car this week, I'm hoping I find something cracked. I read on Opple with someone having a similar symptom and people recommended gluing the servo saver. Any thoughts on this? I have been running the car with the heavy servo saver.

The bad thing is I'm 2.5 hours drive from a track. Makes it hard to find the cause of stuff like this.

I glue my servo saver. its good for long sweepers and getting rid of that snap back in your steering. Most modern servos are metal gear so having a servo saver is really not needed. gives you a more direct feel.

Keep in mind, if you glue it you might just end up breaking the servo rack…seen it happened.

True story, I broke two in one day... Needless to say I didn't glue the third.
