Hi guys

anybody having problems with servo's stripping gears on there cat i hav'nt run servo savers for years but the last 3 meetings i've been to i've stripped the gears on two ko 2343 servo's

so think i will be investing in a servo saver

I also thought about that and found a Tamiya standart servosaver. It works fine.

Best, Chris

Animal. I got mullered over the big jump at NERCR and broke the (KO - yes, the big strong ones) servo horn!

You need to get an associated/Ace servo. Ive done at least 5 of them in KO servos and nearly got rid of the car because of it. Its fine for the team drivers saying that there isnt a problem but they simply dont crash as much as us!!
I havent had a pick of bother since fitting my 1015(and there cheap) so i thouroughly reccommend them.

i replaced the ko with a ACE 1015 hopefully that will be strong enough

do kimbrough still do servo savers for ko servos ?? or what other makes is there ??

cheers paul

Honest, forget the servo saver idea. I nearly did it although when i put the Ace servo in i didnt need it. My next problem was that the servo loosened off as i hadnt used threadlock with the new servo. Dont forget it. The loose screw then got wedged inside the front diff and wrecked the gear on my brand new 1 way. Sick as a parrott

Totally agree with you there fella, great servo and cheaper as you have said

Fitted a medium(large fouls chassis) size trickbits servo saver and has enough spring for indoor carpet racing. but prior to fitting it the Sanwa WRX servo fitted was up to a few heavy crashes.
