Bruiser/p407 gear shift servo saver recommendations

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I’m looking for recommendations on a good servo saver for my P407’s gear shift, either one with just the right length to give the exact amount of travel required to go through the selectors length of travel or one with a nice free spring action that will take up the excess at either end of the servos travel and bounce back to the centre position well. 
The servo saver that comes on the p407 is horrible and the spring just bends, you then end up with a sloppy/loose servo saver that misses gears entirely.

I run mine with no saver and just dial in the shifts on the radio so they are perfect.  Don't run the truck too much, but whenever I do it shifts perfectly.  If you absolutely want to run a saver then any standard HD should work fine; Tamiya, Axial, Kimbrough, etc.

Thanks for the reply. I will set the servo end-points eventually but right now i'm using the rubbish HG transmitter that came with the car, the three position switch overshoots the end-points by quite a margin. That aside, due to the design of the gearbox the gears don't always go in immediately anyway and i wouldn't want the servo hitting a stop before the end of its travel.

Re the servo saver recommendations, I'll take a look at the "heavy duty" ones you mentioned. I was trying all kinds of searches last night trying to find something that looked robust enough for the application and the term "heavy duty" never came to mind for some reason so thanks for that! Maybe using the correct terms in my searches will prove more fruitful

The Tamiya Bruiser uses the Tamiya 51000 hi-torque servo saver for the steering and shifting. This is what I use.
