Servo Saver for Schumacher KF2
Hello
Can anyone suggest a servo saver that fits the Schumacher Cougar KF2 SE. I have bought one already and it doesn't fit the space available, and I do not want to have to keep changing servo gears! Any help appreciated! Thanks Graham |

Keen to know also. I modified a Tamiya high torque one. Works fine, but you do need to grind some of the top bulkhead for clearance. I suspect you would have to do this for any decent servo saver...

get a good quality, strong servo, never run a servo saver since the sv, and never done a servo, and I crash well

Yeah I tried that, I have a Savox 1252mg with a set of really nice smooth gears in it...
Stripped to hell, I really need a saver! Graham |

The low profile savox servos do strip gears easy - I've ran the 1256/57/58 in all my cars and never stripped a servo gear in any of those servos but the one meeting I did with the yz2 and a 1251 I stripped the gears with an innocuous crash so out that came and the trusty 1257 went back in

as I said get a decent strong servo, the 1251/1252 is a touring car servo and not strong enough for a buggy

Ah OK
So perhaps the servo change then? Any recommendations would be very helpful. I see in the thread we have 1256/57/58 and the KO servos. Funny as I was going to get a KO one and plumped for the savox, seems that was my flaw! Thanks Graham |

Looking at:
KO RSx2 Response Servo or Savox 1258 Servo Hoping that either will resolve the lack of Servo Saver function! Graham |

Ive run both and the KO RSx2 Response Servo knocks spots of a Savox. I have the KO in my KF2 at the moment with a Core RC servo horn, now i know its not ideal, but the splines on the Core servo horn will strip before the gears in the servo, i know because it happened to me

Ah thanks Ross, I think the KO will be the ticket then.
I cannot see a way of building in a servo saver in that small area without butchering it quite a bit. Guys at the club said that the horn should have broken before the gears in the servo, much like what is being suggested here, alas it didn't the gears went crunchy and that was the end of the racing! Thanks all Graham |

I have used the 1258 and its been perfect, good servo for the money
