I gave up and spent the $100 on the aluminum version. If this breaks you can bet I'll be calling up Jammin Jay and telling him were he can jam it.  Or better yet, I'll just start making better aluminum ones and selling them for $50. Do I have any takers?  |
Just fyi - I ended up doing the same thing. This time instead of breaking the servo-saver arm, the 4mm ball end screw sheered right off during a cartwheel (Also snapped the front upper arm turnbuckle). I agree with all that running the larger wheels and tires may be a bit too much for the buggy - I think that is why my current draw went through the roof too. Well the spare parts bag has 10 ball end screws in it, so if I break too many more I may go back to the smalle wheels - Not like there is really a downside to it - lower CofG and still just as fast with a small gearing change.
