wolfdogstinkus 1893 Posted August 7, 2013 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.

super gripper 419 Posted August 7, 2013 I would not recommend them as they have a plastic insert to fit which ever servo people have. The kimbro one is best. I use them in my DT02's I have used kimbro for many many years and as of yet I haven't had one let me down. I have used them in some race cars too, tough as old boots they are Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfdogstinkus 1893 Posted August 7, 2013 Thanks but I have an acoms servo ( I should have said in my OP), so not sure if that one will fit?. I think acoms are 23 splines? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfdogstinkus 1893 Posted August 7, 2013 Sorry for all the dumb questions, what was the difference? was the piece I linked to solid?, with no spring?, or something else?. I see your modelsport link now, thanks I have an account there and have always had good service there so will try that, cheers. Glad I asked now before rushing out and getting the wrong part, thanks Supergripper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfdogstinkus 1893 Posted August 17, 2013 Is this the right one? Modelsport have it listed as a Kimbrough Airtronics / KO Servo Saver Small 23t but it arrived in fastrax packaging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
qatmix 794 Posted August 17, 2013 yeah, fastrax just repackage them that's a Kimbrough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wolfdogstinkus 1893 Posted August 17, 2013 Thanks qatmix, just had it out on the street and the steering is much tighter, but had to file a bit out of the chassis brace to stop it fouling. Also changed the front tyres and the difference is night and day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marv968 1 Posted August 18, 2013 I bought a couple of the Hobbyking servo savers. Both broke pretty quickly. Had the Kimbro one from Modelsport and it's worked perfectly since. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
