Steering servo and saver help needed.

[BigPwubba]

Hey people

So I have a arrma gorgon and have changed the servo saver after I broke it, my issue is i can't seem to tighten the actual saver down onto the top of the servo.

It will seat in place properly but the screw/bolt that goes through the saver into the servo gets that tight waaaay before anything is actually being clamped together...

As I tighten then, everything is turning, the servo, the saver, the middle of the saver....I just don't get what I'm going wrong...... it's the correct servo saver, same size as the original, and I've tried using the original screw and the one that comes with the new saver, same issue.

Any help being i make the whole thing a pile of little bits. Cheers

What saver did you buy ?

I have no experience with Gorgons. If the servo saver goes together the same way as a BLX Kraton then the servo saver has to be tightened down all the way or the bellcrank will bind.

Did the new servo saver come with hardware? Possibly, the new servo saver is not as thick, and you are using too long of screw? Maybe, the servo's spline is not as deep as you thought?

Using the red servo that's in that picture, and tried different screws, the original and the new hardware

That is strange, I have the same GPM servo and I had no issues, is the spring in the back tight ?

I've not messed with it at all, out the packet and into the truck
