how does the servo saver/steering bellcrank work with the chassis. my proline one binds and i want a better one but the ue one is always out of stock. do you know about when they will be back in stock or somewhere else i can get them.

The UE is better...than the proline...but I have the proline on my other truck is does fine.

I got tired of watching the web for the UE saver. I ordered one and followed up with a couple of emails to Robin at UE and he got me one! Apparently the small sealed bearings are what holds up the process...he has a hard time getting them in stock.

What diffs are you using?

Good to hear you can wreck it again.. :p

overkill5000 · 04.26.2007, 12:24 PM

i took my truck apart to see what broke it wasn't my diff gears after all i just lost the little hex screw that holds my diff cup on!!!..im using hot bodies 1/8 truggy diffs in a hybrid bulk head they work well!!

neweuser · 04.26.2007, 12:27 PM

I see, hotbodies are good diffs. When you replace the "hex" screw, or grub screw, use loc tite. People like to use blue, but I use red....

GorillaMaxx360 · 04.26.2007, 12:57 PM

what grub screw are you talking about. the one that allows fr the pin to come out is this the one.

I went with the RPM knuckles with oversized bearings...I noticed that you have them on one of your rides. How do you like them? Alternatives?

I bought the white ones and will dye them green or red.

You can get them from FLM directly. $7 gets you two of them delivered.

You do need longer hingepins with them i pressume?

The timaxx i am building hasn't seen any track/road.. i was waitin for some parts, and now it's on the 3rd place of projects to finish.. Too bad..

The RPM knuckles are okay though, installing the retainer takes some patience. they are tight.

There are no alternatives IMO. i tried buggy knuckles, but no succes. Integy knuckles are not considered an alternative. UE doesn't make the right knuckles anymore.. The only possible neat option i can think of is using Revo 3.3 shafts with rd-racing knuckles . (not too expensive either, 99 for 4 of them)

Actually I used the hinge pins that came with the FLM hybrid bulks. Longer pins would have gotten in the way of the servo saver. However, I did have to grind/shave off the collar to the plastic FXT A-arm bushing...I just needed like .05mm to make the hinge pin fit and that did the trick.

I used integy knuckles on my 1st monster truck...that was the straw that broke the camel's back...I'll never buy their products again. I know golden horizon makes some, but I wanted oversized bearings.
