K1 Servo saver
After running at Telford the other week it struck me that the K1 has no built in servo saver (stripped the B2 gear).
I am running a JR DS845 servo which at the time cost me loads and was and still is a fast strong top quality servo. However their is a sacrificial B2 gear inside which I stripped. I have run this servo in my 1/10th touring car, B4, SC10 and NEVER had an issue until I run it in the K1 where it stripped the B2 gear. This was when I realised the K1 does not have a built in servo saver. Can anyone recommend an good servo saver which will it? |

Sx3 and cougars don't either and others lock em up, is b4, , never had an issue, I'd buy a good servo run savox in mine and no problems. Guess they put a sacrificial gear in there for a reason... A clue in its name perhaps?

Did you use the stock servo horn or an alloy one ?
The stock plastic horn should strip before the servo gear, acting as a fuse. At least mine does. |

The JR DS845 was a top of the range servo, with metal gears, ball raced, and super fast 0.06.
I was using the kit plastic horn when it went. I am going to have to fit a servo saver of some sort. |

When I ran a 511 the general advice I found was that the 511 servo saver wasn't great. Over time it would become sloppy and not centre correctly. I ran a Kimbrough instead.

The Tamiya saver is good, but tends to wear fast so you then get play in the steering and it not returning to straight ahead.
