I recently replaced all of my a-arms with aluminum and now my steering servo is over-worked and barely has any turning radius. I was wanting to get rid of my servo saver and upgrade to a decent steering servo but can't find any SOLID information on what to get. I have the T-maxx 3.3 #4907. Please and thanks on any info
 
Check your pivot ball caps, if they are over tight it will cause binding in the steering.
Your gonna want to keep the servo saver, and ditch the weak stock servo for something stronger.

A HiTech 645MG w/133oz./in or Savox SC-0251 w/222 oz./in of torque will do well for around $35-$40.

Also get rid of the plastic bushings in the non-servo saver side & replace with bearings, & the 2 in the throttle bell crank to.
 
what bearings fit to replace the bushings?
 
You need 4 of these 5x8x2.5 bearings.

I get all my bearings from Avid, I normally keep 2 of every bearing in my go box & with most @$1 each it cheep to have plenty of spares.

My LHS gets his bearings for them then marks them up $2-$4 each!

I also change them out at the first sign of grittiness in the bearing.
