CRT.5 servo saver alternative?
 

Has anyone found an alternative to the stock CRT.5 servo saver and steering system. At one time there was an ofna aluminum version for about $100, but I can't even find that one anymore. Maybe someone has found a system from another car that fits the CRT.5 and is stronger?

I moved to the inner holes on the servo saver and havn't had the issue again...

I tried that myself, but with the RCM extended chassis the car looses a lot of steering in that setting. I think the aluminum steering knuckles have a 2nd mounting hole that quickens the steering back up when using the inner hole on the servo saver. I might drill a second hole in my plastic knuckles to see if I can get similar results.

What I'm hoping to find is a stronger servo saver from a slightly bigger car/truck like the Hot Boddies LS10. Has anyone tried something like that ?

any updates on this ? I just broke my servo saver :bad:

I don't run a servo saver. That fixes it. I've got the all-mighty $8 HXT-12KG servo from hobbycity; which has metal gears. It works great. Comes with a few servo arms.... Pic - http://i345.photobucket.com/albums/p...1/S7301747.jpg

re:week servo saver
 

the billet servo saver is available, i got mine frome Kamikaze Toys and Hobbies.nitrohouse is also a good place however its only the idler side and the lower on the servo side.The upper right side still uses the plastic kit part witch kind of makes it a fancy $125 waist.However the guys who run OFNA have been testing at the track were i run and i broke one wile they were watching me run and they took the part and said they were sending it back to china for a redesign .So we will see?

Will any of the hyper mini parts work? Then again.. for 160 shipped mids well convert over :)

interchangability on OFNA minis
 

So far all ive actualy atempted to use was the center front and rear drive cups that are the same and work well.I also expect that the diffs are the same but the OFNA guys cant or wont confirm ya or nay.but ive considered trying to use the 40 tooth spur to have more gearing options and if the cap joints are the same and the wheel drive cups are well ,you see were im going but i dont know for sure yet .

I still havent broke the new one since Arct1k said to me to change the link to the inner hole

I broke mine racing Arct1k last year, he said to move to inner holes as well, and its been fine since. Loose a bit of steering, but the durability is worth it.
