It isn't the arms - I break the servo saver - I've just moved to the inner holes and hope that helps... Also slacked off the servo saver a lot...

In the pro kit they include a softer servo saver spring...it seems to let the saver do its job much better..

They can not be serious! 125 for a steering servo saver - OFNA CNC CRT .5 parts are bonkers prices!

The funny thing is that I broke about 3 stock servo savers(upper one, that attaches to the servo linkage), and its not even the one they make in aluminum! I went so far as to adapt an rc10gt servo saver(complete) and managed to break those too! Right now I have an ofna 9.5 servo saver The part in the lower right of the pic(the one that the servo linkage attaches too) I just drilled out and rounded some edges and now I have no problems!(so far!)

Bye:mdr:

Yep...almost as much as a UE Supermaxx servo saver...if you could still buy them.

Man I've broken a bunch (at least 6) of lower front arms and a couple of upper arm turnbuckles and only one servo saver part. When I broke the servo saver I thought it was just a fluke. I got rear ended by a MT at the track and it smashed me straight into a wall. I actually run the stiffer saver spring (with a full sized servo) because the softer one was too soft and I was getting bump steer.

What I wish they would do is offer some of the parts by themselves. I'd like to buy just front arms for $6 instead for F & R for $10. Does anyone want to trade 2 front lower arms for 6 rear lower arms? I have 6 rears and need more fronts.

I've also broken a few body mounts. It's a joke to spend $10 for a bunch of other parts just to get the body mounts. And what about the upper arms that are $10 because they come on a parts tree with parts that never break?

Luckily I love the way the E-crt.5 drives both in the backyard and at the track. It's a blast cutting under 1/8 scales on every tight turn.

I fixed the body mount issue by using cut down traxxas pede ones - $4... Just cut them off and drill a hole through them...

You don't happen to have a part # on those. I couldn't find them on Amainhobbies.
