Twin Detonator steering servo and arm

[RichieRich]

I'm surprised a bell crank steering kit with integrated servo saver hasn't been developed for this kit.

It's a 3 piece servo arm, as you can use two different splines. I originally didn't use enough glue and it came apart on the first turn. Looking at the design, I don't see how it can assemble without glue, as the centre splined section is the only piece the screw goes through to locate the arm on the servo.

I put it together and ran it for about 10 minutes, then my friend ran it into a gutter and broke the left steering knuckle. Oh well, I'll fix it tonight. Other than that, I'm pretty impressed with it!

Am I missing something here?

No glue needed

It sounds like the springs might be missing / not fitted if it has been glued together...

Are you using the whole hi-torque servo saver assembly, or just the hi-torque spring along with the standard servo saver and arm as I suggested in an earlier post?

If the latter is the case, it sounds like you are missing the little plastic spacer that goes between the screw head and the servo saver. This keeps the arm and spring attached to the splined part, so you do not need to glue them.

Any chance of a few photos of your installation so that we can help confirm the source of the trouble? Whatever the case, you really shouldn't be needing to resort to glue to keep it together!
