Whats the Difference between these parts

[pitbull14218]

I mainly need the Servo horns, and i dont have all the tools or time to make my own linkage kit, so I'm just going to use the stock Horn. Now the 1st link has some extra stuff that i dont know if it would be beneficial to buy that instead. Thanks

That depends if your truck already has the servo saver that is built into the steering post instead of mounts on the servo. If yours mounts on the servo and the steering posts are both solid plastic, then yes, the first one is a really good upgrade.

If not, then don't bother or your buying parts you don't need.

Well the only part i really need is the Throttle and brake horn. I tried doing the Mod from this link https://www.rcnitrotalk.com/savage-linkage-mod/ but i guess i dont have the proper tools and patience to get it to work.

So I'm going to start off fresh with brand new stock linkage because mine got all bent up. My truck is completly stock but i bought it used off ebay and is probly completely beat. So i guess i should get the one that would be an upgrade. Is it really worth doing? What exactly does it do differently?

It doesn't get soft and crappy after you use it a while. It also gives you better turning response and tuning for a stronger steering servo. I'm not sure if it comes stock with bearings, but if it doesn't, put some in instead of bushings for the posts. Makes the steering much smoother so more of your servo torque gets used to steer the rig instead of overcoming resistance in your steering assembly.

I understand i figured it did something like that, but what size bearing, i plan to buy it all at once online so i guess ill have to wait til after i get them.

Well... now that you mention it, I have no idea! lol

So, I pulled my skid off my savage to see what it has, since I recently acquired it and it was used. Mine appears to have 6x10mm bushings.

Figures... Guess I need the upgrade as well! I thought my steering was a bit rough compared to what I remembered from a few years ago when I had a savage that I had upgraded.

Any paticular bearings, or size can you reccommend while I'm in there? Thanks

6x10mm. I'd go with rubber sealed if you can find them.

Eddy has some:

My hobby shops all carry duratrax teflon sealed. They just aren't that good... I wish they carried at least boca green sealed. One of them used to, but I haven't shopped there in a long time.
