I just noticed I have about a 1/2 to 3/4 inch of play in my steering, I made sure everything is tight..is this normal?
 
NO it's not good...what servo/saver you have...is the play in the servo or the saver? if it's in the saver your good..just buy a Kimbrough saver and you'll be done for 5 bucks...if it's the servo don't replace it w/ a stock one...get the 645mg...35 bucks and it will do you justice....if you want bulletproof stering expect to pay 150 for new servo w/ unreal torque and a nice steering kit....
 
I have about 1/8" of play... barely any... I think it is my linkage.. i will fix it before i drive...
 
Mine has some slop in it also cheap Traxxas servo saver anyway, I was actully going to ask soon what one I should look for so thanks before I even asked Plaid lmao!
 
jesse I didn't get to the UPS store yet...sorry....I didn't know you had sent the pay....I'll see if I have a kimbrough saver still...I'll throw it in...
 
WHat have you been doing!!!! LMAO :jk: that would be really cool I would appreciate it I bought a new Traxxas one and it did the same thing the old one does it kind of wobbles on the servo and I know its not the servo either what a pos hehe.
 
Man you have no idea...I am the BFH for RCs....my LHS said th enext time someone claims their product is indestructable I get to test it first......
 
LOL that cause you own a Maxx JBradshaw00 I feel your pain hehe Did you finally get it all back together and running again?

I saw him take a whole buggy apart and put in back together again and set everything up at the track in about 2 hours last monday night in the dark under a tiny maglight, so all other duties of life should have only taken him about 20 minutes...I don't know what he's been doing with the rest of the time :shrug:
 
LMAO poor Plaid and all of his breaks with his Rc's I know the feeling. I can almost do the same with my T-Maxx, I have had lots of practice taking it apart and putting it back together :doh:

Thats cool glad to here you have it fixed for now that is lmao. I have a couple more things to do, but should have it going here soon, I bought some aluminum bulks and skidplates from Plaid and can't wait to go do some bashing lol.
 
I can take mine apart in about 30 minutes, loose 1 screw and spend 2 hours looking for it, put it back together in 8 hours and cross thread the 1 last screw, then have to take it all the way apart again to go to the lhs for what I just screwed up. Me and the t-maxx have a love/hate relationship, and I find that if I call her (yes it's a female) petunia and talk dirty to her, the parts almost jump into place lol

LMAO I call my the DemonMaxx becasue I believe it is cursed and will adventually kill me hehe.I hate when you loose that one screw and can't find another one that is the right lenth/thread type lmao. Thats why I bought an entire screw kit and replaced just about every single one and now have some extras :).
