UE Servo saver
 

How is the servo attached to the UE servo saver since the "saver" is part of the steering arms.

I actually have the proline version on the way and it's basically the same design and was wondering how you guys attach them.

Thanks for any help!

This is a quick pic from my sons stock Maxx

I always thought the servo mounted the other way. Correct me if I am wrong on this.

That is the best way to explain it. A pic says a thousand words. Have to get you a servo arm for it to replace servo.

Heck you may be right. So someone please clarify. I threw it in and it worked never gave it to much thought.:L: It would not be the first time.....

I found that mine seem to work better the other way. Keeps the drag link more parrellal to the front axle. I could take a pic of mine papa.

Yes, you are right coolhand..

The more straight the draglink is, the better. Otherwise, your steering servo is stronger one way than the other. (and it could steer less far to one way)

Well I guess I know what I'll be doing when I get home.

LOL..

Let us know if it helps you out papa. My bro did the same. It didn't work as well on his.

I did not notice any problems. Every thing seems to clear with no binding. Lock to lock seems to be the same. I dunno...? I 'll check out the alignment when I get home and see what the difference is. :C:

It works either way. It just has a tendency to work better and the power/speed is more consistent from side to side if the leverage is the same side to side(straight draglink as Serum mentioned).

It was not me see, it was the other guy, I was framed...:L: That's what I get for not thinking doh! You see on my own truck I would have stared at it for hours tried it 6 different ways , and then still did it the rookie way......Ouch:eek:

:L:

If it works. It can't be but so wrong. :D
Could be worse. You could have stared at it for 3 hours and tried 9 differents ways. :L:

This work's mucho better then short linkage.

I like the longer link my sef. It stays parrellal through the whole range of motoion. I have my servo mounted reverse from yours.
I like the ends you have. they look tough. How do they hold up.

They are aluminum m4 with stainless steel m4 rod. I think i'll break the servo horn first, this thing is sturdy.

The only down side of mounting it this way is that the rod is at an angle, to clear the front driveshaft. But that doesn't seem to worry my 5955tg.

Crap Sicco, that is one serious draglink...

Heh it work's:D

No doubt dude... what railroad did you use?

How do you like your hitec so far?

Hitec is awesome, doesn't seem to have trouble moving around 40 serie's. Hell, with 333 oz of torq it shouldn't have any trouble moving around 40 serie's.

Money well spend i'd say.

Those 40 series are not the mass i am worried about Sicco.. ;) :p

It's not the mass, it's the contact area the tire makes with the ground. The bigger the tire, the bigger that area, more traction, the more force it need's to move.

Talking speed wise this thing is awesome. Seem's to be just as fast as my previous 5945. No idea yet if it's reliable or not, ran her for no more then 5 time's yet. No problem's so far, finger's crossed. If it dies on me i'm finnished with hitec.

I meant the mass of your subtile draglink.. that's the mass i was worried about.

I got that same hitec servo. I agree it is awesome and money will spent. That is a massive drag link. I don't have a problem with mine hitting any of my drive line. I have the ue servo saver to. It may be something different in between trucks.

I see the difference. You have your servo on top. I have mine on bottom. Mine clears the shaft no problem. I even had a plastic shaft in at one time with clearance. If it is working keep running. :D

Can I ask what brand of aluminum servo horn you guys are using?

Are any preferrable over others or are all pretty much the same?

Thanks again!

The servo horn on my sons truck is from racers edge I think. JR/Hitec make their own as well. Just get one for the servo that you have. I have not heard of any reports of one horn being "better" than another.

For servo He has got the JR z650, and for my rig...Hitec-5955TG

It not doing you no good in the box papa. :D
I think you like that servo. I love mine. :Love:

I still have to stare at it for a few more hours.:L: Then I'll actually get it out of the box.....repeat....:p


Ahh. savor the moments...slllooooowwwwwwwww:Love:

I guess when you get it on. Repeat. :D

i want that servo! lol. its looks nice!

It's your's for only 115$. Bargain if you ask me.

I'm working on yet another custom chassis(when will it end) that moves the servo 3mm's to the front. If I did the measurement's right the draglink will be completely in-line with the saver.

The horn i'm using is Hitec's. Be sure to get an alum horn that will fit your servo nicely.

Actually the draglink doesn't weigh THAT much:p
