Well I'm a fabricator by trade, but not real interested in doing much of it on my rc cars lol.
I am always interested to see what you have in mind though, I know you better than you might think.

Look at my single speed build thread @ that other place.
I used an ofna buggy bellcrank with the integrated servo saver and it works great.
It does take a few mods to work it in though.

Doesn't the one off the emaxx work? It has a built in spring like 1/8 buggy's. Or is that what you already have?

What do you want "better"? GH sells aluminum bits to replace the plastic bits: http://www.ghhobby.com/proddetail.php?prod=2579

Yeah mine has the built in spring, but it still flops all over the place. A stiffer spring would be fine, but haven't seen one anywhere.
Proline used to make one, then they took it off the market, then they put it back on the market... Can't seem to find it now though so may no longer be available.

That's what I had when I had a tmaxx many years ago.

Hmmm, not sure if that will fit the newer maxx or not.
I know on the old savage's, they were setup like the maxx, but you had enough room to finagle something with an 1/8 buggy setup if you tried hard enough. I ran an OFNA one in my savage for years. It wasn't adjustable though and when HPI came out with theirs, I went with that one instead.
Maybe just try to find a stiffer spring for the one you have? Got any measurements on the spring? Wire size, ID for the coil, OD for the coil? Should be able to find something with more strength to it.
