need help with steering servo
okay this is driving me nuts, i hev now stripped out the servo saver for the
savage ss twice in four tanks of gas. have any of you had this problem?
the servo i have isnt an extreme servo either, 133 OZ at 6.0 volts.
what have you guys done to get away from this problem?
any suggestions welcome . . .

It isa not the gears he stripped, it is the servo saver that is giving out.... You need to do the OFNA MP Servo saver Mod, it works great. [link=http://www.savage-central.com/ftopic2361.html]Savage-Central OFNA MP Servo Saver mod[/link]

the problems isnt with the servo itself, it is a metal gear servo.
the plastic servo saver that comes with the SS keeps stripping out.
do they make an aluminum servo arm for the savage?

RE: need help with steering servo
I sympathize.... stripped (middle gear) of Savage stock steering servo too (HPI SF 2)... Replaced it with a Thunder Tiger S-188 new servo I had laying around... It didn't hold up 1 day of bashing... stripped it too... Finally gave up and installed HPI SF-3 metal gear servo... night & day difference!!
By the way I had my doubts about the servo saver... tesed it... and worked well.
Just my 2 cents...
