Okay well Tuesday I sent off my thorttle servo to JR to get it fixed for free. Well the temp was right and it was perfect for bashing and even RS4drifter was off untill Sunday. I borrowed his dads HiTec Servo and threw it in. Only one problem. I sent off all my screws with my servo! I'm not sure if your familiar with it, but theres a little piece of rubber material under the radio tray where the screws thread into. I sent those off aswell so I had to find a replacement, and I did.

We simple cut it up and made indivual pieces for the screws to thread into. Once the screws threaded they were locked good and tight, actually better than before.

Hey man that's a good idea, I never thought about that.
If you wanted to make it even beefier you could use some locknuts on it too.

Nah that would be too hightech. If you wanna go about it that way, use super glue, the whole point here is that it's a Ghetto Rig, lock nuts are just too high society for me!, lol
 
Or you could have just clamped the servo down with a pair of Vise-Grips. That way you would have saved all of the hassle of having to cut your servo horn into pieces.

Now that's what I'mt alkign about, like those guys with vise grips on the seat bar to keept he seat from sliding down instead of just buying a seat clamp, lol. I love the ghettoness
 
Then you'd LOVE my neighborhood. Hey wait a minute, I think there's a crack deal going on in my front yard right now.....
