A very Cool up-grade
I put mine on but the screws too short, now i have to find a longer screw.
Did you use the screw that comes with the servo saver ?
None of them fit, only the screw that came with it. Savox servo with a tiny screw
@dalejohn3233 I have a few savox but all run the normal sized screw for the servo arm ?
Yeah Baby Yeah !!
Overall, the Yeah Racing servo saver looks fantastic...and, initially, it's reported to work perfectly. However, after reading several long-term reviews, I'll be passing on this one. As reported in the comments by another individual, as time goes by, and it's used more, it's ability to properly center starts to fail. From reviews, this has been as short as 9 months, and as much as 12 months.
The "problem" is with the servo saver's plastic lower piece. Every time the 'saver' side gets used, it causes part of the 'blockade' portion to either get indented, or to be "chipped away". As time goes on, and more of the plastic is removed, that's when it starts to have 'play', and behind to fail at properly centering.
Another problem experienced by some (probably those who crash a lot, with very 'hard' crashes) is, over time, the circular 'springs' lose their ability to return to their original shape. To use body parts as an example, muscles can stretch, and return to their shape, over & over again. On the other hand, ligaments can be stretched somewhat, and still return to their original shape...but, the more they get stretched, sooner or later, they're unable to return to their original shape (having had two ankle surgeries to fix this problem, I'm quite familiar with it). To compare against my examples, these circular springs are similar to ligaments.
The unfortunate truth is, ALL servo saver's of this design eventually fail...and, the ones with plastic upper and/or lower pieces fail quicker than those with aluminum upper & lower pieces. The best servo saver design is one with a standard spring, using a top-cap, and a nut to compress the spring. Granted, even these don't last forever...but, as the spring loses some of its "springiness" (I think I just created a new word...lol), you can already tighten the nut more, further compressing the spring. The other advantage to this design is that the tension is always user-adjustable. Worth the circular spring design, there is no adjustability.
If you ever try one of these there is no way the springs will lose the ability to return to their original position they are very strong, now these are ment for 1:10 rc's so if people are fitting them to 1:8 scale or large wheel off road bashers then yeh I can see them wearing, that said I have full metal ones that also ware as the steal spring will always wear the alloy stop also incorrect end point will ware a servo saver quickly as every time you steer it's moving the saver but I'll keep an eye on them and see how they go :)
To be fair, as racers we barely keep our cars 9 months anyways....so replacing a servo saver when needed is a minor inconvenience for the protection it provides.
@@stokedGSXRNot necessarily true. SOME racers can afford new vehicles every 9-12 months...but, that's a small percentage of racers, compared to those who will buy new vehicles every other year, and racers who might even run the same vehicle for 2-3 years. Percentage wise, few can afford new vehicles every year, especially if they race multiple vehicles/classes.
Craig, I’ll be honest, I’ve wanted to like that servo saver but the nose was really weak and wore itself out on my TT-02 drifter so bad that she eventually lost center.
I went to their solid horn for my purposes and while she’s REALLY tight on the servo, she was better made.
Plus, I’ve found that the saver springs were VERY hard to put on. Best tip is to use an external snap ring pliers, found at your local auto parts store.
It’s a good product but not the most durable design.
I've been using it for racing for a good bit now and no issues so far and the hard plastic pipe around the track is very unforgiving
@@WTFRCCarsCraig, I’m honestly baffled to why it failed on me and honestly, I wanted to like it. But yeah, after a few months of use, the springs wore the “nose” down and the servo stopped returning to center. Not as a result of the horn damaging the servo but because the saver “horn” wore itself out.
Maybe I didn’t have my end points set right but yeah, I’m not sure if I can recommend this saver. It works great in the beginning but I’d be curious to get a long term update on this one because I wasn’t the only one that experienced the same problem.
@taimaishu-nao1922 the one on my 420x has done about 160 laps of the local track so far no issues
GRACIAS Y SALUDOS.
