Rival mt10 servo saver replacment

[Caleb90]

So like every one else with a mt10 my servo saver loosens up. After locktighting it and super gluing it the threads are stripped. What would be a good replacment so i dont have this issue again

I gotta check my servo spline count

So i took the rival apart and i not sure how i can use a servo saver directly on the servo. As the oem set up has the saver built into the bell crank, so with out one on the bell crank there wont be a horn for the steering shaft

Called associated, there is no other option than oem on there end

You have the servo saver spring collar tightened all the way?
Does the built in servo save have enough strength to move the tires fully left/right while RC is on the ground?


I'd double up on the collar and use some type of thread lock as well. Using a plastic safe type of thread lock of course, as I do believe the Pro4/MT10 steering is a composite plastic.

Depending on the composite of the plastic, a "normal" thread lock, meant for metal, will "attack" plastic and make it brittle.

I will note that I do, as well as many others around the hobby, use thread lock on my wheel nuts. If the wheels are nylon based, I've no issues with using thread lock (vibra-tite 125 medium gel thread locker is my favorite) to secure wheel nuts.

For instances where there is thread lock needed for screws in plastic... I normally will use a fingernail polish or CA glue.
