I killed the servo saver on the crt.5 but then just replaced it with the upgraded aluminum one from Nitrohouse (the Al upgrade parts are pricey but the quality is really impressive).

Has anyone tried the extended A-arms Mike just put up on the site? I am tempted, but no sure how much of a difference .6" is going to make. And if the upper A-arm is now made out of Al and I snap a turnbuckle in the threads I am going to have to dremel a very expensive piece of metal to get it out rather than a cheap piece of plastic.

I've had the same problem with the upper arm turnbuckles both steel and ti. IMO the ti did snap easier than the steel. I have also had them snap off flush with the upper arm and had to cut a screw driver flat into the turnbuckle to remove it. I think I'm going to try the Lunsford 4mm x 23mm turnbuckles next and just drill out the plastic parts from 3.5mm to 4mm.

Anyone seen a steel 4mm x 23 - 25mm turnbuckle?
