I just bought the new Sanwa low profile servo, looking at ETS pics Victor Wilck was using one too...I haven't test it yet, just finish mounting it. Anyhow where can I get this Savox servos that sell and ship international?

I like my s9550.
The KO is good too but,
time to try the bls551.
And who said Lo-pro servos don't center as well?

The high torque servo saver does not last long. The springs get warped and you lose your center pretty badly. Keep a couple of them with you at all times.

The Kimbrough makes the car feel so disconnected.

I use the Tamiya high-torque as well, but they do need to be replaced every few months. You'll know when they're not right.

i think the feeling is as good as the tamiya one but time will tell as i only did 20 or so laps on it

Make sure to use the MEDIUM Kimbro servo saver...
The small one is for 12th cars.

Given I'm outdoors now, I'm back on a solid horn... my Tamiya one developed a nasty bend in the springs following a large crash, so pulled it out and put on the soild, and haven't seen the need to put one back on yet!

The saver will go back on for the winter mind, it's all re-built and ready

Not sure how that can be since the center of the servo hole to the center hole position on the arm is the same on small (you need to make the holes a little larger for the linkage screws) and medium size Kimbrough servo saver. I was running the Tamiya hi-torque saver with the aluminum horn and within a weekend of racing the saver would drift. I'm a big fan of he Kimbrough since it has a more direct feel for me and hasn't drifted since then.

I've been using Kimbrough's saver for the past couple of years (since I ditched Tamiya's) and so far only 1pc sort of spoilt (loose) out of 10pcs that I have....

When running the HPI springs, are you guys changing to a different spring retainer (bottom) ?

I'm running the stock plastic ones, and these springs seem almost just a tad too big. I can see the retainer cup actually forcing its way inside the spring during a hard collision...

I know what you mean but this has never happened to me. And I've had some pretty hard collisions!

I noticed that too, Tamiya 1 mm down aluminium retainers supports the spring better but they are still the same diameter as the plastic, for sure they are better but not perfect. Square were supposed to make some special ones for Tamiya dampers using HPI springs, anyone know the status of that?
