I just got the same RC for xmas and was not looking forward to this servo saver install. THANK YOU for posting this. Huge help. Great Tips all around.
You’re very welcome! I’m glad it helped!
Love that video. All the details, real life walk-through... Links to parts. Perfect.
Man that was a great video. I was struggling very helpful thank you
Nice bud. I went with a cheap servo. I'll let you know how it goes. My $50 Raminator servo is actually doing a good job so far 👍. I had to put the 6s strap in the middle since those stock straps are not good enough when doing big air. Keep an eye on them. I've broken a couple before and replaced them with the small 6s strap.
Thank you for this build!!!! Helps alot
Great video. Make another showing the installation of the unit and it working afterwards. I’m about to do this on my new EXB also. Nice work !

@@GoKaioken oh sorry!!! My bad didn’t realize I had another video. I just subbed too 👍🏼
No problem! And thanks!
Did you have any issues fitting that servo? I saw a post on the Arrma forum from someone who couldn’t fit it in even with the larger mount. It seemed like the servo was too tall. Also what voltage are you running the servo at?
I've been seriously thinking of picking one of these Kraton 8S EXB's up. If I do, I much appreciate the video tutorial.
Are you in dubai
You can contact our shop !! Hobby sportz dubai we will give you best price !! And we do courior
@@dubaivibes6726 Damn, I already picked one up here in the States. But, I will keep you guys in mind if I decide to buy anything else.
Plan on getting me one for my 50th Birthday & i was wondering how long does it take to install the electronics to get her up & running complete installation?
I would say if you take your time and do everything nice, give yourself an hour and a half
Happy early birthday by the way! Big #50
Did you have any problems fitting the servo in? And did the steering linkage make contact with the back of the motor? Thanks 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
No issues at all
Did you purchase a new steering set but you didn't tell no body and now I cant even fit my servo thank you
Great video I need a little help so I did everything you said and the only problem I have it my car turns more towards the right then it does to the left and I don’t know why but when I lift the outcast up it turns both sides perfectly and I’m running a Reefs 1/5 servo.
Maybe try recentering the servo by removing the horn, ensure your steering trim is set to zero and then reinstall the horn with your wheels straight. Then any final adjustments can be made with your steering trim.
@@GoKaioken okay I will try that thanks if anything I’ll let you know thank you man!!!
So I did what you said and it just won’t work I can turn to the right perfect but the time left barley, do you think if I center the servo horn that would be better then having it at the angle because I had at the angle and it won’t go the left, so I’m so confused and frustrated
And you’re sure the end points are set correctly on your transmitter?
@@GoKaioken yeah I’m running the spektrum dX3 that comes with the felony
Hey I’m kinda stuck, put everything together and my truck does a hard left circle doesn’t stay straight at all. Do you think it has something to do with the servo horn cup? I’m not sure what to do. Thank you
I would remove your steering link and service horn, turn the truck on and make sure your steering trim is set to neutral, then make sure your wheels are completely straight and reinstall the horn and steering link.
Part number for the 5th scale servo mount?
Why use the 1241 and not the 1240 is the 40ozin of torque make that much of a difference?
Did you figure out how to mount the two antennas for the receiver in the box? I believe I have the same receiver, is a Radiolink, right? I just got the Kraton 8S EXB yesterday, and I was thinking of using the same receiver with my Radiolink radio. I was trying to figure how to put the antennas?

Great job this video was needed!
@Kaysen Griffin 🤔WTF
Great video. GOOD!!
I am very helpful with your video.
Hi, I enjoyed your video very much. By the way, I'm using the same servo as you, but the cover can't close at all, isn't it?
Right. It’s a super tight fit. What I had to do is loosen the servo screws so it can move out a couple millimeters, put everything in and put the cover on. Then retighten the servo screws.
Very nice job!
Thank you!
Hey boss what type of grease did you use when putting together the servo saver. I just got the outcast 1/5 exb and my servo came in so that was my next step
I used team Lodi racing black all purpose grease
Hey I got a new kraton 8s and x maxx and I just got castle 2028 1100kv which truck would you put in or would you recommend getting exb outcast or kraton 8s
I would put it in the Kraton 8S as the XMaxx doesn’t really benefit from the extra power (unless you like to break everything)
Quick question I’m using Spektrum 14.8V 5000mAh 4S 50C battery on my kraton 8s but it seems to give out a lot I’m thinking about going with another brand any recommendation on the best batteries to put in a kraton 8s I look for batteries on Amazon that people have recommended on UA-cam but all I see is bad reviews it seems like on Amazon it’s a hit or miss
I highly recommend SMC batteries.
I bought this Savox SW0241MG and it’s not able to turn the wheels on my Kraton 8s, HELP PLEASE
I have the same problemz the servo not turning the wheels, did you get it solved ?
Any difference between the Outcast & Kraton EXB besides the body?
Kraton is larger.
What kind of grease did you use?
For what?
For the server saver rubber seals?
Oh - I used this: TEAM LOSI RACING High-Pressure Black Grease, 8cc, TLR77000 www.amazon.com/dp/B009PBVYPK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_8RX1PVPMD2MHVKTE4Z9C
This looks incredibly difficult
@Vape N Clash Fantastic advice man, thank you lots, I'll definitely check that out!! It sounds a lot easier, looks quite complex. Cheers again man! :)
I did this but it pulling to the left like crazy, im starting to get irritated
I had to adjust my trim to the right
@@GoKaioken me too 😂 like far right 90/100 right but hey it's straight as an arrow now🤷🏾♂️ I swear I took it apart and adjusted 10x, it's gotta be a turnbuckle length issue😂
That’s weird! I only did like 30 to the right. Are you using the same servo as me? 1/5 scale box? EXB?
@@GoKaioken I'm using the spektrum S9110BL 1/5 scale, one more tooth to the right or left is too much I got it the best I could so it's gotta be my servo arm🤔
@@GoKaioken I put a vitavon servo horn on and it got me to the point I'm at the stock one was giving me a headache lol
