Breaking Servo Savers

[Cody102]

I am having problems with my servo saver in my T4. i have broken 2 of these in the past month. but my servo is really hard to turn. (has been since i got it) i have this servo : http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__9443__BMS_616DMG_HS_Digital_Buggy_Servo_MG_10_2k g_12sec_46_5g.html

and i was only fixing something on the car when it broke the second time. the front wheels turned like normal but snapped it.??? whats the problem here. weak servo savers or the servo it self??

check that your epa setting on your radio are not greater than the limit on the turning circle of the car,the servo may be travelling to far

You could also remove the steering assembly from the truck and check all your bearings make sure nothing is binding, if you disconnect the servo horn does it move freely? But yeah jas is right on with checking your epa's as well.

it moves freely. i also put another servo in. because its only been hapening since i put in that servo

Could be the servo, I've never had any luck with Bluebird Servos myself, bought one a few yrs back from Stannies and it locked up, thankfully they refunded it under warranty.

No, i bought the same servo from HK for my drifter.... Finger crossed.

Check the serve saver on the car. If to tight it breaks your serve arm. If the top and bottom halves are full of dust and dirt then they bind and lookup and break your serve arm. The later requires dismantling the frontend.

yeah, id check to make sure the saver is working, if it is, then id say the servo was dodgy to start with.
