Jumping, crashing, breaking
Hi I am new here and I have an Evader ST. I was running my evader and doing some real crazy stuff with it. Actually I was only jumping over a boat and a fence, I have done worse then that and when I tried to turn my truck around the front wheel hit the side of the fence, it wasn't in the air and it wasn't going that fast. Then I noticed that the truck wouldn't steer and upon closer inspection it was very clear that the steering arm broke. I replaced it with a regular futaba arm that i clipped to fit in the truck and I haven't had a problem since. I was just wondering if anyone else had had this problem and what they did to fix it.

Welcome to the site!!
You can buy a 'servo saver' type arm that has a spring in it that will actually 'give' a little when you hit stuff to keep the steering setup from damage. Goto your local hobby shop or look at Tower to get one.
Good luck, and get some pics of them huge jumps!

what a coincidence! i do that all the time (the stock servo saver does not seen to work that well...) i just got one of those red hitec arms with 4 arms on it. i cut off three and drilled a bigger hole for the steering ball cup. it works great now

So THAT'S what a servo saver is! I've heard a bunch of you guys talk about it but I never really knew what it was. I thought it was the aluminum bracket that the servos were mounted in....duh
