Hi all, see attached pic. I was building my first Squash Van, and used threadlock on the screw for my steering servo (BETU 45Kg Coreless Servo Motor HV 8.4V). Within 24 hours, the threadlock had somehow made contact with and eaten away at the plastic Tamiya servo saver included in the kit (parts B12, B6 and E4). As soon as I started it up for her first drive, the plastic pieces crumbled right off the outer shaft of the servo I tried looking on eBay and Amazon for aluminum replacements for these parts, but nothing matches. Can someone please point me in the right direction to a servo saver that is the next closest thing to these parts (especially the oddly designed E4). I'll take plastic if that's all there is, but aluminum would be better, I presume. Thanks so much! (apologies if this is not the correct forum; wasn't sure if it goes in All Things Electric...)- 7 replies

Added some hopups to the ORV chassis and the servo arms. I wasn't sure if all pink would work, but for my first time masking and painting a Lexan body, I'm really happy with the results, even though it's not perfect.

Nikko85 inspired me to take a similar approach to restoring my own Hot Machine: I received mine as a childhood gift & determined about a year ago that I would upgrade it to work with a modern MCU. I'm planning on installing an F405-WSE & using Ardupilot, or similar. Nikko found that a standard metal servo made a great replacement for the stock micromotor which acted as a servo arm. I've received my replacement servo today. The replacement came with a servo saver, but it's going to be too big. I have access to 3D printing hardware & plan to use the old arm with a new plate to adapt it to the replacement servo. The next challenge will be finding a solid way to secure the servo to the top gear housing. Not sure if I'll use tape or create a bracket to secure it. -
Hi, I am trying to source a body post for my Sand Scorcher so I can use the Super Champ servo saver as detailed here: http://www.tamiyaclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=58289 I found that a TC member made some a while back but he doesn't have any more. Anyone know of alternative source or even something else that fits? -
My servo saver is really loose and has quite a bit of free play in it, Are these items from hobbyking any good? http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__23492__Blue_Aluminum_Heavy_Duty_Servo_Saver.html I know Tamiya do a heavy duty one but that is twice the price, but is it a case of buy cheap, buy twice? Also I know of the kimborough servo savers but I was confused as to whether it would fit the dt-02. I can also take advantage of hobbykings postage and order a new battery at the same time.
