If you take apart your stock servo saver and remove the spring you can fill in the spring cavity with some RTV silicone. Reinstall the spring and snap the servo saver back together. Let the silicone cure overnight. Almost free mod and it gives the saver a much stiffer feel but still has some give for those bad landings and hard impacts.
Hey Tyler ! , Awesome and thanks for the tip ill give that a ago soon and report back buddy .
Keep the tips coming if you have some .
Stay awesome
Chris :)
Good tip I’ll try that
how do you take the stock saver apart? i tried the kimber servo saver and still having the same problems. id like to try filling the og saver with grease but dont wanna break it taking it apart.
This method only works if you can manage to get the spring back in after you remove it. I've been trying for a week to do so, with no success.
Another servo save that works is an adjustable 1/10 scale axial ryft. Hot Racing makes a good one and you just need to shim up your servo
Did this with my Granite, definitely made a world of difference!! Good informal video stay awesome 🤘🏻
Glad it helped! Stay awesome my friend ,
Chris 🤙🚀💪🤘👌
Keep those upgrade videos coming.👍
That's the plan! Thanks so much for watching buddy .
Stay awesome
Chris 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙💪👊
I just got one of these and I didn't realize how bad the steering radius was. I can turn three times sharper with my Traxxas Maxx sledge even xmaxx
Do this Mod buddy and it will work much much better .
Thanks for watching ,
Stay awesome
Chris :)
My KP 124 arrived in the mail yesterday. Will be installing it in my brand new Kraton 4s V2.5 in a day or two. Thanks for the 'how-to' videos. Keep 'em coming. 🤙

This is something I’ve done in the past with other Arrma rigs. 100% the best upgrade for Arrma 3s and 4s vehicles. Good job Chris!

Nice upgrade! Thats the same saver i use on a couple of Rc i own. But the ones my kids play with i leave the stock one in.
Hey Joe ! ( In my best Hendrix impression lol )ua-cam.com/video/rXwMrBb2x1Q/v-deo.htmlsi=AFr2m45zK98njAGc
, Yeah there great if you have the time to mold them in to place properly which trucks are you running yours in buddy ????

Well explained Chris. Cheers for the mention. Yes I can also confirm that this is a bit of a must do mod and it does transform the steering (although I did use that Hot Racing one in the end). I didn't really have an issue with my 3s cars but the huge tyres on these 4s ones are too much for that stock servo saver. I am a bit tempted to get the 4s Kraton to go alongside my Outcast although I'm trying not to spend much money 😬. Cheers for now 😁👍👍
Hey Pete buddy ,
Thanks so much for the support really does mean alot . Thanks for letting the guys know and verify what i said buddy.
Hmmm yeah not massively essential with the 3s trucks but hey in for the penny and in for the pound ! , As you say the 4s trucks weight is a complete disadvantage with the standard servo savers .
Hey buddy i really think you will love the Kraton , ive got to say ive fallen in love with mine , this new differential has made the truck feel amazing in the corners and give you some slip and tuning capabilities .
Go on treat yourself you know your worth it my friend .
Keep up the amazing work your my Yoda !
Stay awesome
Chris :)
Nice info
Glad you think so! Thanks so much for watching
Stay awesome
Chris
what you can improve is getting a. larger. screw and with the extra length you install a security nut and your. servo saver will never fail
its more to do with the slack in the steering with the stock servo saver buddy .
Doing this upgrade with make the steering alot more positive .
Stay awesome
Chris :)
Hi, at first I did the same thing, but I think the better solution is to open the servo saver and swap the Kimbrought spring with the Arrma spring
Can servo savers be opened up? Good shout if your suggestion is doable? 👍
There are videos of the "Arrma Servo saver repair" on UA-cam
Thanks buddy Ive got a few laying about I’ll give this a go and report back for you 🤙
If all goes according to plan I’ll record a video and give you a shout out buddy
Chris 🤙🤙🤙
I use the Kimbrough spring in my arrma servo saver and it works better than the Kimbrough saver. This is a great call out!
Thanks just done it to my kraton I wasn't easy to get the spring in tho but work's well
So I did this mod to my Kraton v2.5 as well. It is SO much better in terms of steering, but unfortunately the servo saver has some slop. So you either have to deal with a sloppy servo saver that actually allows you to turn, or use the stock one that has no slop but the steering sucks. It seems there’s no perfect solution. However I will say that this mod is super easy and well worth it, even with the slop. Shell out 9 dollars and you can actually steer your Kraton.
Hey, thanks for trying out the mod on your Kraton too! The struggle between steering and slop is real, right?
Stay awesome
Chris :)
We get the modelsport support.
Cracking as usual buddy , always been great with me .
Good video Chris
Just wanna say, no way on this earth is that kraton a 1/10 scale, no way, 1/8 all day long
I'm ordering one next Friday, along with the electronics for the asuga roller I'm getting this Friday
By the way, I'm a bloke this is the other half's gmail account lol
Good video bud👍
I only mentioned I'm a bloke cause people keep sending the emojis with hearts or blowing kisses😂😂😂😂
I don't have the heart to tell em I'm a. chap😂
Hahaha 😅
Hey ! Yes i think your right on the size to be honest ive said this a few times they really dont feel like a 1/10th scale at all but hey ho im not complaining as they work great .
Man get one there awesome ! i Genuinely mean that feels so fast and nimble .
As for the Asuga no man there genuinely a big buggy ! they are a buddy on steroids and seriously well made .
As for the name welll ! lol who am i to judge hahahahahaha ( Joke )
Thanks so much for watching and stay awesome
Chris :)
Must be a Kagama or Asuga coming lol.
Your right buddy Kagama incoming !
The first upgrade that i do to all of my ARRMA cars is but a power hobby 400mg 29kg servo with the hot racing servo saver and arm.
Great choice on what you put in the truck to start . Eliminate any problems before they happen .
Stay awesome Luke dude
Chris :)
Just finished replacing the stock servo saver with the KP124. One thing I noticed is that the stock servo saver is much wider than the KP124. Therefore the machine screw holding the stock one to the servo is too long for the upgrade. Had to chop off a good 3/8" at least in order for it to fit the KP124. Not pleased. Was hoping for a smoother transition.
Hmmmmm that should not be the case at all buddy as the Kimbourgh servo saver you need to shave down for it to fit or maybe I’m reading it wrong .
Look forward to hearing from you buddy .
Stay awesome
Chris 🤙🚀🔥🚀🤙🚀🔥
Okay, this is what I meant. The depth, or if you prefer, the thickness of the KP 124 servo saver is much narrower than the stock one. Once the new KP 124 is installed, the machine screw which held in the stock one is too long for the aftermarket item. Not a big deal, but just thought it was worth mentioning. I would send a photo along, but not sure how to on UA-cam. Maybe I will send it on the ArrmaForum. (at least you will be able to visualize what I mean) Keep up the good work, Chris...
My front wheels balloon and sounds like there dragging the truck... Either thers no diff fluid in the front and center or they have water in them
Sounds like to me you need to tune all the diffs buddy , I suspect its centre diff 500K in the Centre and your golden .
Stay awesome
Chris :)
I got a kimborough servo saver for my Mojave 4s but I haven’t installed it yet.
Hey man , Do it its a awesome upgrade for your 4s Arrma trucks for sure .
Really does make hell of a difference in how positive the steering feels .
Hope your well jason buddy
Chris :)
@@ChriswithaCrc yeah I’ve been lazy that’s all 😂 I’m doing well buddy and hope you are too
What are you used to make it look so shiny and clean
Hey buddy lots and lots of Elbow grease lol 😂
No seriously I wash them down then dry them fully . Compressed air and then spray GT85 everywhere
Also do those stock wheels have a offset?
Looks wide,i like it
Hey there well im not 100% but i can let you know asap if you like !
Chris :)
@@ChriswithaCrc
Yeah please no need for asap though, just when you get a chance
Does the kraton 6s rpm front bumper fit the notorious 6s any one knoe
Hey buddy yes I believe so .
Thanks
Ok, Chris, I just need to replace my steering servo.
What would you replace with??
Thank you.
Hey buddy , use the part from Kimbourgh like I have in the video buddy sure will help loads works great for me .
The part number is KP124
Hope this helps
Stay awesome
Chris 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
