[Raptor1410]

Hi to all,

Kimbrough KP 201 Medium Servo Save

Did you manage to fit Kimbrough KP-201 to the Blitzer Chassis? I'm running into a lot of parts coliding however I mount the servo and ballheads. And at least the servo saver needs to be cut anyway to have sufficent space to turn. Has anyone tried to use KP-114 which is the small version?

I used a Kimbrough in my Blitzer. I can't remember exactly how though, I'll have to check tomorrow. Works well though.

I would really appreciate if someone could post a picture of the arrangement with a Kimbrough Servo Saver in a Biltzer.

Tried to replace the old Servo with a SPT brand servo (which I really like for price/speed ratio) but they also have some weird offset compared to standard servos.

Haven't tried to place the Kimbrough KP-201 (medium size Servo Saver) on the old Servo as the servo saver seems to be too long and to bind at some spots anyway.... so I'm wondering if it would work with the small type of Kimbrough Servo Saver.

Have you swapped over the hubs? Left for right?, This helps level the steering rods which reduces bump steer and may provide more space at the servo end as well. 

Long time since I had a blitzer, but I remember swapping the hubs over.

No, haven't swapped so far but planed to do this. But my problem is, the the servo saver that has been recomended here did not fit at all (too long, too large diameter) so I wonder which Kimbrough servo saver might fit and has been used by others so I can order it.

On the far right is the original... It fits, all others are either too long with too much diameter or the arm is too close to the servo. Tried now: Kimbrough small and medium, Sakura, an aluminum China servo saver.... This is the only one where the arm is far enough away from the servo, but too long and too narrow to shorten and drill new holes.... Give up now soon, something suitable must be to find yet
