howie87 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 i dont think thats a servo saver. just scrap it and use the horn that came with the servo is there a spring in the horn in the pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corbs10 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 (edited) that looks ok mate change the old servo horn for the new 1 and set it up like the pics you might need ot reset your wheel tracking the only difference between this and the new (savage x 4.6) servo saver is that they have a spring (- the purple plate as part of chassis) Edited April 11, 2012 by Corbs10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racespecs Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Well something happened today that has madfe me lose interest ir RC cars!!! My steering servo ( Savage) broke. So I did exactly what I was told and bought a MG ( Hitec HS645MG) Arrived today chuffed as you like!! Fitted servo, went to replace the Savage servo horn which spins on the servo output!! Oh my days!!! Now I realise they make different size outputs. Why do they do that??? So one has to buy something else!! CONSPIRACY!!! Thanks big business for that!!! Im paying too much for petrol,gas,food etc as we all are. Im not being ripped off ijn my hobby aswell. Hope it was worth it to whoever had this great Idea cos Im selling up now!!! Jay Don't let it get to you too much there's a few things like this in rc hex fitting etc servo horns are not that much and if anything most shops will probably have 1 in the bits box around someone that they will give you for nothing. I stick with 25t which is futaba savox and hpi that will leave me with picking a servo from those 3 suppliers i think ace is 25t aswell i have alley servo horns which work much better for racing with. Dont give up on rc dude its all worth the hassle when your blitzing your car down the road. - depending on how old your car is you may be able to get a free servo from hpi worth a try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrhavana Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 IIRC the screw that holds the horn in place has a different pitch as well. Savox ftw As Jimmy said, you need to make sure you don't lose the servo horn screw. Hitec use a 'special' M2.6 x 8mm screw p/n 55802 or I believe HPI Z431 are the same size and thread. Just be thankful you got a Ko Propo or Sanwa radio otherwise you'll find the rising modulation will have problems with the servo. (joking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1273 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Guys thanks for all the input! Yes the there is a spring in the highlighted round thing in the pic! This is my problem lol. The pic you posted underneath is the one I was considering as a replacement just aint got the cash atm! Ive been told chemical metal might be a solution to make my disk like horn fit just worried that I wont be able to remove it from the spline when I want to??? Im going to try melting some heat shrink tube for a temporary just so I can bash on Sun as Ive missed 2 bashes in a row now and that aint on!!! Obviously Im not selling, I love my Savage BUT still cannot understand why these splines are not a standard size. Well I can its in the title!!! Makes me mad!! Cheers guys for all your usefull help youve cheered me up on this one!! Jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grck1 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I've got the same set up on my savage and it is a servo saver , tbh it's a crap design, they give before turning the wheels so you lose lock. When new your savage would have come with a selection of different bases to fit different servos but they have probs been lost to the wind by now. I upgraded to the x style saver on the steering posts and locked th sold saver solid to save buying a new horn lol, even with the x type saver set at its weakest setting I've got better steering. So tbh honest get the x type save and correct horn and benift from better steering as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the o/p had had plenty of help before I posted so I didn't see any harm ! I personally thought his reaction to a wrongly ordered part was waaaaay ott. Hence my postings. I'm sure he saw the funny side, in fact he even LMAO'd so I guess he did. I'll help anyone out if they need it, but I'll also have a dig and a laugh if I feel they need it ! Likewise I'll take it if I deserve it ! LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j1273 Posted April 12, 2012 Author Share Posted April 12, 2012 I lmaod cos i was shocked pal. I didnt deserve or need your barracking!!! I mean why even bother telling me I should have checked before? What help is that to anyone? Especially someone who is already fuming!!! As I said at least twice in my thread I DIDNT KNOW SPLINES FOR THAT SIZE SERVO DIFFER IN SIZE!!! It aint easy being a noob. It also aint easy being mugged off infront of people via the internet!! Theres too many unhelpfull and annoying posts in people threads these days. I wouldnt dream of making anyone on here feel small infront of the whole forum. Obviously its acceptable nowadays tho!

Listen, I thought I was a stress head until I read your initial post. Seriously mate, you need to calm down a bit and relax. Return the servo and swap it for the right one, job done ! I can see your blood boiling as I type so I'll duck out of this one now and won't bother you again. Sorry if I upset you ! << Genuinely ! BB.

budgetblown Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 \Keep winding him up, dude - he might sell after all. Incidentally - OP - didn't you count the teeth first? Different makes use a different spline count. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Garry Posted April 13, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thread locked because of several absolute idiots who think its OK to spam the forum with childish insults and 5 minutes worth of Google Images. This forum used to be about RC. Now it seems to be about who can make themselves look more and more like a nerd who sits all day waiting to pounce on other people's mistakes and post terrible pictures made in MS Paint because they want to be "cool" to their "mates". Seriously, grow up and go outside the house once in a while. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
